Education CS George Magoha has assured Kenyans that by Friday, 10,000 classrooms will have been constructed.
The classes were meant to deal with congestion in secondary schools ahead of the double intake in January.
“We are happy and should the grace of God allow us until Friday, we should have completed all classrooms,” Magoha said.
Magoha spoke at Dagoretti High School where he commissioned two CBC classrooms.
He said there are remaining around 300 units to attain 100 percent completion of classes.
“The government has money and will pay contractors any time from now,” he said.
He mentioned Nairobi and Mombasa counties that are still at 94 percent completion.
The first phase of CBC classes had 6,500 units and was completed in July.
The second phase with 3500 classes, Magoha says will be complete by Friday.
School heads were asked to prepare for the intake of Form 1 and Grade 7 students in January.
He urged them to liaise with the directors to ensure smooth enrolment.
Magoha spoke on Monday at Moi Girls Isinya where he commissioned a CBC classroom after which he headed to Nile Road Secondary School, Nairobi.
“We have to normalize as we go into double intake otherwise it's going to be a challenge going forward,” he said.
On the double intake in secondary schools, about 1.6 million learners will be enrolled in Grade 7.
Another 1.2 million learners will also be enrolled in Form 1.
Magoha said the two national exams will go on as planned.
The first cohort of Grade 6 learners will sit Kenya Primary School Education Assessment on November 28.
Magoha also extended the deadline for the selection of junior secondary schools.
The initial deadline had been slated for August 30 but was pushed to September 10.
