Close to 416,620 form ones are yet to report to secondary schools. This is according to the latest data from the Ministry of Education. Nyamira County leads with the highest percentage of reported form ones; standing at 72.05%. Tana River, on the other hand, has the lowest percentage of reported students.

The latest data from the Ministry will have the government worried as the low numbers will derail its 100 percent transition drive. The local administration has been instructed to beef up the search for learners who may have not reported to school. The Ministry was forced to push the form nes’ reporting deadline to Friday January 27, 2020.
