Nominated MCA Scolastica Ngina has urged Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba to put the selection of grade 10 senior schools into order and let the selection team carry out a review
Speaking during the Butsotso cultural festival, the MCA said that according to the selection of grade 10 school students are forced to travel from Narok to Kakamega in day schools, which do not have boarding facilities. “How are they going to survive?” She asked.
In addition, teachers are even confused with the selection of grade 10 schools with systems closed and slow “We don’t know if they are working well?” Ngina exclaimed
The MCA, who is also the former Kakamega County KNUT Women Rep, disclosed that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Ministry of Education were never far apart, unlike the CBE system, which has a big rift and does not know exactly what they are doing

Mrs Ngina, who taught in various schools during the 8-4-4 system, revealed there is no single day a child was selected to join Ebuchinga mixed secondary school, where there is no boarding facility, but today she wonders it’s not only in Kakamega but all over Kenya
At the same time, she urged parents of Grade 10 to try their level best and let the child go to any school close to home
She affirmed that the move will pave the way in transition in the CBE system for Grade 10 learners from Kakamega County and be able to compete with learners countrywide wide
