CS Ogamba Addresses School Transition, Admissions Crisis, and Education Cost Data Gaps

Education CS Julius Migos Ogamba updated Parliament on the progress of Kenya's Competency-Based Education (CBE) system, specifically addressing the critical transition from Junior School to Senior School. A significant crisis is also unfolding, as over half of grade ten students have not yet enrolled in senior secondary school. This situation highlights widespread challenges faced by families in affording school fees and accessing education. Furthermore, Cabinet Secretary Ogamba has admitted that the government currently lacks official data on the actual cost of educating a learner in the country. This revelation highlights a significant gap in educational financial planning and transparency.
