Speaking at Kipcherere High School in Baringo County during a thanksgiving ceremony, Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos emphasized the importance of structured career pathways in the new education system.

The event, which was attended by Joseph Makilap, Member of Parliament for Baringo North Constituency, highlighted ongoing efforts to ensure a seamless shift to Senior School.

“Insights gathered from these consultations have been instrumental in developing comprehensive guidelines for Grade 10 placement, addressing key concerns about the transition process.” CS Migos said.

According to the CS, transition will see schools offer diverse career pathways tailored to students’ varying aspirations and competencies, ensuring learners are placed in programs that align with their strengths and career goals.

Additionally, students were encouraged to take advantage of opportunities available through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) portal, which is now open for applications.

Eligible candidates were urged to apply for placement in their preferred academic and technical programs, reinforcing the government’s commitment to broadening higher education and vocational training access.
