Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha launched the committee in June last year, mandating it to resolve questions on transition from one level to the next, staffing, teacher training, examinations and admissions.

When he released last year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examinations results, Prof Magoha said although there will be no examinations in Grade Six, which will mark the end of primary school, the task force will announce how the transition will be carried out.

The centres of excellence - meant to guide students on career paths - are not ready, yet in three years, the first cohort under CBC will be joining secondary school.

This first CBC cohort will join secondary school in 2023, leaving the last 8-4-4 learners still in primary school.

Considering the chaotic manner primary school teachers were trained for the CBC, it is worrisome that secondary school teachers have not yet been trained on the curriculum.
