All KCPE candidates to join secondary school – Gov’t

All the pupils who will sit for this year’s Kenya Certificate of Primary Education will join secondary school. This is according to Education Principal Secretary, Belio Kipsang.

Kipsang says the government plans to spend Ksh 6 billion to expand facilities in existing schools so that they can admit more students.

The plan will see the Ministry construct 2,000 additional classrooms in 2,576 secondary schools across the country.

He said the 100% transition of KCPE candidates to secondary school will open doors to more children to access formal secondary education.

The Principal Secretary was speaking at St. Francis Girls High School, Mang’u in Kiambu County during the school’s 53rd anniversary of the school’s existence.
