This year, Kenya’s basic education has begun a historic phase as the pioneer cohort of 1.13 million learners under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) system joins senior school.
The government, as part of its 100 percent transition agenda, has intensified efforts to admit learners to schools through initiatives such as Junior Secondary School capitation, expansion of bursary schemes, re-admission drives for absent learners, and, recently, the deployment of local chiefs to ensure all school-age children are in school.
