Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary General Collins Oyuu has challenged the government to keep junior secondary learners in Grades 7, 8 and 9 in Primary School.<\/p>\n

Oyuu, while addressing the 17th annual Kenya Primary Schools Head Teachers Association (Kepsha) delegates on Wednesday, December 29, argued that teachers in Primary schools were qualified to tutor junior secondary learners.<\/p>\n

He further argued that it was pointless for the state to splash billions, which now stands at Ksh8 billion, on the project while classrooms remain empty in primary schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho do you want to occupy the vacant classrooms in primary schools? Do you want those classrooms to be our houses?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe classrooms should be utilised by bringing grades 7 and 8, and an additional classroom\u2026Grade 9. Our primary school teachers can handle them since 80 percent of teachers are graduates and some have master\u2019s degrees,” he argued.<\/p>\n

On December 27, Magoha assured Education Stakeholders that the construction of the classrooms were set for completion before the end of 2022.<\/p>\n

The first grade under the new Competency Based Curriculum is gearing to join junior secondary in January 2023 after sitting national exams at the end of 2022.<\/p>\n

In his address, Magoha noted that the first phase of 5,200 classrooms are expected to be completed in April 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have already mapped out all schools. Therefore we know where the gap is. There are schools with excess classrooms that will serve as junior secondary schools.<\/p>\n

“There are some with adequate and the required additional classrooms,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Magoha also insisted that CBC would continue as planned although it has run into headwinds with a case challenging its legality on Chief Justice Martha Koome’s desk.<\/p>\n

The case filed by a parent, Esther Ang’awa argued that the introduction of CBC to replace the 8-4-4 system was unconstitutional and unlawful. She listed Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha as a respondent in the case.<\/p>\n
