The trainings which are happening in each Sub County led by the TSC County Directors office are geared towards instilling skills on Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) as well as management and implementation of junior secondary section.
Primary school headteachers will be acting as junior secondary school principals for a period of one year till TSC posts their replacements.
The details are contained in the draft Junior Secondary transition guidelines. The Government is keen to ensure that even though Junior Secondary will be domiciled in primary institutions, the two levels of learning will remain distinct.
