Senior School

As Kenya prepares to roll out Grade 10 under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) framework starting January 2026, education stakeholders have told parents to help learners choose senior secondary schools and align their chosen pathways with long term career goals.

The Competency Based Education (CBE) curriculum will have 161 subject combinations in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) pathway for Grade 10 students entering senior school.

Garissa Township Member of Parliament, Dekow Mohamed, has urged the Ministry of Education to adequately prepare for the upcoming shift of learners from Grade 9 to Grade 10 in 2026.

Grade 9 learners and their parents continue to face confusion due to the Ministry of Education's delay in releasing critical guidelines for selecting senior schools and academic pathways, a process scheduled to begin in January 2026
