After months of confusion to both parents and learners concerning the fate of pupils who sat for the Grade 6 exams, the government gave clarifications on how the learners will transition.

Education CS Ezekiel Machogu directed that junior secondary school pupils should have a different school uniform but remain in their respective primary schools.

In 2022, the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) revealed that Junior Secondary School pupils will take a total of 23 subjects. They will have to pick 14 subjects with Mathematics and English being compulsory.
