Meanwhile, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has urged the Ministry of Education to release capitation to schools sooner to ensure smooth operations.
Speaking on Sunday, April 27, the union's Secretary General, Hesbon Otieno, claimed that this will help with the planned transition in the second term.
According to the SG, the second term is when Grade 9 students will choose their senior high school pathways; therefore, efficient funding is essential for a smooth transition.
