PS Kipsang Urges Teachers and Parents to Shape Youth Morals.
The Principal Secretary (PS) for Basic Education, Belio Kipsang, reflected on the successful completion of the 2024 KCSE examination cycle during the release of results.
Speaking during the event, he thanked stakeholders for their dedication and emphasized the importance of instilling good morals in children.
PS Kipsang highlighted key milestones achieved during the academic year, including the construction of junior secondary classrooms. He commended head teachers for optimizing the allocated resources to ensure these facilities were completed on time.
Efforts to enhance ICT infrastructure and equip teacher training colleges with necessary facilities were also noted. These steps, he said, are critical for preparing educators to meet the demands of the competency-based curriculum (CBC).
The PS acknowledged the ministry’s progress in phasing out the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and transitioning to the Kenya Junior School Assessment. He affirmed the government’s commitment to delivering a globally competitive education system, supported by comprehensive policies and regulations.
Education Cycles Completion
All levels of the CBC—PP1 to PP2, Grades 1-6, and Junior School (Grades 7-9)—have now achieved full cycles. The next step, he stated, is ensuring a seamless transition to senior school for the first cohort of CBC learners in 2025.
| Key Milestones Achieved | Details |
|---|---|
| Construction of Junior School Classes | Facilities completed to support CBC implementation. |
| ICT Infrastructure Development | Enhanced resources for digital learning. |
| Teacher Training Support | Improved training facilities for future educators. |
| Phasing Out KCPE | Smooth transition to new assessment frameworks. |
The PS lauded all stakeholders, including teachers, parents, and exam officials, for their role in administering the KCSE 2024 exams successfully. He emphasized that their cooperation ensured the credibility of the process.
