The Ministry of Education has unveiled comprehensive guidelines detailing the transition of learners from junior to senior secondary school.
This initiative aims to align educational pathways with students’ individual strengths and career aspirations, marking a pivotal shift in the nation’s educational framework.
The pioneer group, currently in Grade 9, is slated to join Grade 10 in January 2026. To facilitate a seamless transition, these learners will undertake the Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment – KJSEA) between October 27 and November 5, 2025.
In preparation for their transition, learners will select a total of 12 senior schools based on their preferred career pathways.
The Ministry has implemented an automated system for the admission process, where learners can access their admission letters online using their assessment numbers, streamlining the transition and reducing administrative bottlenecks.
