The Government’s policy on 100 per cent transition, now being enforced by Education CS George Magoha, is achievable. The Government has embarked on a move that requires strengthened facilities and resources at the secondary level.

To begin with, the Teachers Service Commission has responded to this critical issue by increasing the number of teachers to counter the surging numbers of learners transiting to the next level. This move will no doubt serve to embolden the Government’s determination.
