Principals have asked the Ministry of Education to split Junior Secondary School learners between primary and secondary schools. Junior Secondary School, which was introduced under the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) last year, consists of learners from Grade 7, Grade 8 and Grade 9. And now principals want learners from Grade 8 and Grade 9 to move to secondary schools. The head teachers said that secondary schools have existing infrastructure such as laboratories, unlike primary schools. Principals are worried about the lack of preparedness in primary schools and urged the State to allow the learners to transit to secondary schools.
