KUPPET: Machogu Is to Blame for JSS Troubles.
The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers, Trans Nzoia branch, urges President William Ruto to reassign Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu from the Education ministry. Branch Secretary Furaha Lusweti holds Machogu responsible for the significant challenges facing the education sector, particularly the newly implemented Junior Secondary School (JSS) program.
Lusweti highlighted the urgent issues plaguing Kenya’s education system, emphasizing the need for immediate action. He pointed out that the integration of JSS into primary schools has led to a severe shortage of resources. “The placement of JSS in primary schools, without adequate classrooms, laboratories, workshops, and teachers, has left our students in a dire situation,” Lusweti stated. This lack of infrastructure, he believes, could jeopardize the future of many students.
The situation is further exacerbated by the assignment of only two JSS interns to cover twelve subjects, a task Lusweti considers nearly impossible due to the limited resources available. In addition, he expressed concern that this inadequacy might compromise the quality of education for Grade 7 and 8 students, potentially impacting an entire generation negatively.

Lusweti’s call for a reshuffle in the ministry reflects the growing dissatisfaction among educators regarding the current handling of the JSS program. Therefore, the challenges identified necessitate swift and effective solutions to prevent long-term damage to Kenya’s educational standards.
In summary, the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers demands a reassessment of leadership within the Education ministry to address the critical issues affecting the JSS program. Transitioning Machogu out of the Education docket could pave the way for much-needed reforms and improvements.
