This has relieved parents from fears of harsh secondary school environments for their supposedly young Grade 6 children.

The ministry also notes that attending day schools will ensure the pupils’ safety and provide a comfortable learning environment.

Meanwhile, the Kenya National Examination Commission has recently cautioned teachers countrywide to be careful when registering grade six pupils.

All teachers must provide correct details for the learners with special needs to the examination board to prevent future problems with registered information.

According to KNEC, the teachers should categorize children with special needs and register their details according to the provided instructions.

CS Magoha had earlier directed all school heads to ensure they register all pupils by 14thMay 2022 because the date will not be extended.
