FOREWORD

The Government of Kenya introduced the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) in 2017. The CBC emphasises nurturing of learners' potential, national values, integration of Science, Technology and Innovation, and seeks to ensure that the skills taught in educational institutions match the requirements of industry. This will facilitate acquisition of 21st Century knowledge, skills and competences, values and character development, patriotism and global citizenship, with positive implications for the quality of human capital. These educational reforms are inextricably linked to the attainment of the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Kenya Constitution 2010. They also align with global commitments on education, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Union's Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA 16-25).

Accordingly, the first cohort of CBC shall transition into Junior Secondary School ( JSS) in 2023. This calls for a structured mechanism of ensuring a smooth and seamless transition from Primary School (Grade 6) to JSS. Therefore, these Guidelines for Implementation of Junior Secondary Education give effect to the recommendations of the Presidential Working Party for Education Reforms in Kenya (2022), regarding the domiciling of JSS in Primary Schools.

The Guidelines are a one stop shop for reference on mandatory and standard protocols for implementation of Junior Secondary Education ( JSE). Further, the standards and protocols provided in the Guidelines take cognizance of the CBC demands while at the same time benchmarking with global best practices. These Guidelines are a living document and may be amended by the Ministry from time to time. Additional provisions on JSE will be incorporated once the final report of the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms is released.

The development of these Guidelines is a culmination of successful collaboration amongst various Basic Education sub-sector organizations. This demonstrates synergy and co-creation among critical education actors involved in implementation of the CBC. The collaboration ensures complementarity across the formal, non-formal and informal dimensions of the JSE curriculum. Emphasis has been placed on ensuring consistency in the application of prescribed standards and JSE quality, leadership and management, management of resources, among other key considerations.

It is envisaged that through these Guidelines, institutions offering JSE will be enabled to evolve in tandem with the expectations of the reformed curricula, and to enhance their quality of education delivery in the long run. Ultimately, this should raise the standards of education nationally and eliminate existing disparities in education provision, consistent with the global education agenda.

HON. EZEKIEL OMBAKI MACHOGU, CBS CABINET SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION
