All Junior Secondary Schools will be headed by the headteachers of respective public primary schools they are domiciled in, the government has announced.
Education CS Ezekiel Machogu, however, said this will be on the interim basis until December 30.
Machogu spoke on Friday during the release of the 2022 KCSE exam at the Kenya National Examinations Council office in Nairobi.
He said the Board of Management of a primary school domiciling the junior school will constitute a special sub-committee.
"The committee will spearhead the management of education and resources of the school," Machogu said.
"The head of the primary school that domiciles the junior school will serve as the secretary, while the chairperson will be a member of the committee."
He said all private junior schools on their part will have to establish their boards of management and directors.
This is in compliance with Section 52 (a) of the Basic Education Act 2013.
The CBC task force formed by President William Ruto recommended that junior secondary learners be domiciled in existing primary schools.
The CS further said the government will spend Sh18 billion on capitation for the junior secondary school learners.
Each of the learners will get Sh15,000 yearly out of which Sh4,000 will be channelled towards development of infrastructure, priority being on laboratories.
This year, a total of Sh9.6 billion will be spent with the funds set to cover terms one and two.
More than 14,000 public schools have been assessed with 13,000 having met the qualifications to host the learners.
