Several parents across the country were struggling to comprehend the results of the Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) as thousands of learners received their results yesterday.

Unlike past results that were marked with celebrations for top achievers in homes and in schools, the event was low-key, with some parents admitting they are yet to fully understand the new education model and what the results mean for their children.
