Teachers want JSS separated from primary and senior schools

Teachers’ unions and Junior Secondary School (JSS) tutors are intensifying calls for the government to grant jss full autonomy, from both primary and senior secondary institutions. The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), along with jss tutors across the country, are demanding the establishment of a distinct administrative framework for JSS, independent of the primary schools where the new learning level is currently domiciled. They argue that the government's decision to domicile JSS within primary schools has created widespread confusion, particularly in areas such as school administration, sports, and co-curricular activities.
