Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers in Nairobi are calling for clear career progression frameworks, saying that the current ambiguity is demoralizing and unsustainable.
The teachers, who demanded for full autonomy of JSS institutions, cited numerous challenges they face while operating under the current middle school framework.
Speaking during a consultative meeting held in Nairobi, teachers singled out the state of sports management in JSS. They urged the government and relevant bodies to professionalize and streamline sports programs to nurture learners’ talents and support those interested in pursuing careers in sports.

The educators argued that without institutional independence, JSS is unable to function effectively, affecting both academic and co-curricular development.
They called for JSS to be established as fully-fledged institutions to allow for structured learning and improved management.
