Nursery, Primary, and Junior Schools to be Led by Principals Under Proposed Reforms
The education reform task force has described the new school under the new 2-6-6-3 education system.
If the draft proposals are incorporated in the final report, the nursery, primary, and junior schools will be renamed Comprehensive Schools and comprise the lower school, which will be led by a principal.
Each section of the nursery, primary, and junior schools will be managed by a teacher named deputy principal. Currently, county governments are in charge of running nursery institutions.
Teachers Updates understands that the task force’s aim is to harmonize the teaching sector by bringing all registered instructors under the Commission.
If approved, these proposals illustrate how the new school will be organized.
However, the new institutions will not be categorized as National, Extra-County, County, or Sub-County as they are currently.
The team desires that these clusters be discarded and replaced with a new one that incorporates the three paths.
The team contends that categorizing schools as national, extra-county, county, and sub-county discriminates in resource allocation, thereby favoring certain schools during enrollment.
Instead, the task force desires that this be eliminated and replaced with day, boarding, mixed (day/boarding), mixed (boys/girls), and according to the three Senior School pathways (science, arts, and sports science).
