Challenges and Funding Discussed for Grade 10 Implementation - January 2026

The implementation of Grade 10 is facing several challenges related to resources and funding. A report highlights a significant financial shortfall for Grade 10 students, which could impact their educational trajectory. Teachers of Grade 10 are also expressing concerns over the delayed distribution of crucial textbooks and teaching materials. To address funding issues, President William Ruto announced an agreement between the national and county governments to jointly finance Grade 10 education through bursaries for students from needy families. In the Coast region, education officials are conducting a "mop-up" exercise to ensure 100% enrollment of students into Grade 10.
