The government will invest at least Ksh.5 billion from capitation kitty to set up laboratories in Junior Secondary School (JSS).
Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang says this is in an effort to ensure adequate infrastructure amid reassuring parents that there are sufficient learning materials for the 1.2 million learners transitioning to the Competency-Based Curriculum.
Speaking on Monday at Arap Moi Primary School in Kajiado when he monitored the JSS learners' reporting, Kipsang said education stakeholders should work hand in hand to prepare the learners to choose pathways in senior secondary school level.
He further urged parents to stop panicking over the transition, saying it was only meant to monitor and assess learners’ progress.
Kipsang said that the ministry of education is closely working with Members of parliament to urge them to also utilise part of the NG-CDF money in improving schools infrastructure.
