on WhatsApp“We reaffirm the Government’s commitment to full transition as a national imperative,” the statement reads.“Every child has a human and constitutional right to education, and we must all work together to avoidpreventable dropoutsdriven by cost barriers, delayed placement or social vulnerabilities.”The 100 per cent transition policy was introduced to ensure that no learner is locked out of school due to poverty, cultural practices or systemic gaps.Under CBC, learners progress seamlessly from primary to junior secondary and later to senior secondary, with multiple pathways aligned to skills, talent and academic strengths.The report further indicates that 61 per cent of eligible learners have already joined Senior Secondary School, even as enrollment remains ongoing.Authorities extended reporting timelines following concerns raised by parents, school heads andeducation stakeholders, acknowledging that some families continue to face financial and logistical challenges.“The extension of reporting timelines is an inclusive measure to reach learners who are yet to report or complete placement processes,” the report notes, adding that coordinated community-level actions are continuing across all counties.To close remaining gaps, the government has rolled out targeted interventions aimed at tracing and re-engaging learners who risk falling through the cracks. These include door-to-door household mapping by NGAOs, community sensitisation through barazas, religious institutions and local forums, and expanded bursary and scholarship support.Bursaries are being coordinated through County Governments, the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and NGAOs to minimise financial exclusion, particularly for vulnerable learners.“We appreciate all Kenyans who are part of our community-led interventions anchored in local accountability.
