The Ministry of Education has directed that all KPSEA candidates joining Junior Secondary School JSS will remain domiciled in their parent primary schools and put on the same uniform they had from Grades 1-6.

The directives come at the back of concerns from parents that some Junior Secondary schools are asking for money from parents in the pretense that they need to expand infrastructure for accommodating Grade 8 students and money for Grade 7 uniforms.

Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has also stated that, the ministry has credited institutions bank accounts with the 7.6 Billion Shillings released last week by the government.

Also the Government plans to spend ksh 12.8 Billion to facilitate construction of 15,015 classrooms for JSS over the next one year.
