Monday, January 16, 2023 –Junior Secondary Schools will have different uniforms from the rest.
CS Ezekiel Machogu was speaking this on Monday January 16 when releasing Form One placements in an event held at the Kenya Institute for Curriculum Development.
This he said was a directive from the president’s office and which will need respective schools’ Board of Management (BoMs) to make a final decision on the type and colour of school uniforms to be used by their learners.
“At this particular point, since it is secondary, the uniform will not be the same and each board of management will be able to make decisions on the colour and type of uniform students will be put on,” the CS revealed.
Parents will therefore carry the burden of purchasing the uniforms just like it has been done before with normal school requirements.
“Although the learners will join grade seven in the same school they had been enrolled in grade six there is a need to distinguish the junior secondary section.
“A decision has been made for the parents and BoMs to come to an agreement,” the CS added.
On his part, Principal Secretary of Education, Belio Kipsang made it clear that parents will decide where to buy these uniforms.
