County Administrators Searching For Students Yet To Join Form One
County administrators have been directed to ensure that all 2021 standard eight candidates have enrolled in secondary schools.
Mr. Samson Ojwang, Trans Nzoia County Commissioner (CC), revealed this during a media briefing in Kitale town.
Ojwang stated that the Department of Education, in collaboration with his office, will conduct a thorough village-to-village search to identify genuine form one students who are still at home.
“The operation, which will be spearheaded by education officers and local administrators, is scheduled to take effect two weeks,” Ojwang told journalists.
He urged school principals in the region to follow the Education Cabinet Secretary’s (CS) directive to avoid sending learners home for fees.
“For our county to achieve 100 percent transition this year, we appeal to secondary school heads to refrain from turning back Form One students that have reported without or with less fees,” urged Ojwang.
The county executive urged parents whose children would be returned home to notify area assistant chiefs and chiefs, “because we cannot tolerate government officers who defy important directives without proper justification,” he added.
The official also urged charitable organizations and well-wishers in the region to help students from low-income families.
