Parents Now Want Junior Secondary Domiciled In Primary School

It is now clear that Parents want the controversial junior secondary to be domiciled in primary school.

According to Jasper Omwega who is a representative of the National Parents Association Nairobi branch said that grade 7 learners will not be comfortable with secondary school students.

Speaking during the public participation at the University of Nairobi, Omwega noted that it will be difficult for 11-year-old learner to cope in the same environment with a 18-year-old student.

“As parents, we are not comfortable with our 11-year-old learners being in the same environment with 17 or 18-year-olds,” Omwega said.

He further faulted the government for not engaging parents prior to the  rollout of the competence based curriculum.

Omwega urged that the government caters for assessment-related expenses.

“We end up paying for photocopying and downloading all assessments,” he said.
