Some primary schools don't meet the required threshold to host Grade Six learners in Junior Secondary (JSS) come January 30.

This emerged during the ongoing assessment by a multi-agency team composed of officials from the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Interior and Teachers Service Commission (TSC) on the suitability of the schools to host JSS.
