New Qualifications for JSS Principals by 2024.
New Qualifications for JSS Principals by 2024. The nation is currently undergoing a curriculum transition from 8.4.4 to the new competency-based curriculum.
A few years ago, the new curriculum was implemented, and this year, the first class moved to junior secondary school.
Currently, primary schools serve as the home of all junior schools. Consequently, the head teachers of the elementary schools have begun taking on the role of acting principals.
Since the commencement of the junior school changeover in January, they have been serving in an acting capacity. These are the principals for grade 7.
KEPSHA meeting held in Mombasa
At the Kenya elementary Schools Head Teachers Association (KEPSHA) general meeting in Mombasa, there were over 10,000 head teachers of elementary schools.
In her message to the heads, the cabinet secretary for education urged and prodded them to accept accountability. Furthermore, he requested that they guarantee the complete advancement of teacher professional growth.
Collins Oyuu, secretary general of the Kenya National Teachers Union, was also present. The secretary general expressed gratitude to the government for its pledge to confirm the head teachers as junior school principals starting in 2024.
But according to Secretary General Collins Oyuu, people with strong academic credentials will be the only ones to benefit from this fantastic opportunity. This served as a further means of encouraging educators to pursue further education because better possibilities were on the horizon.

Numerous problems were noted by comprehensive school management. This is what Collins Oyuu says. Nonetheless, the sec gen stated that the school headteachers had to have handled these problems.
The secretary general also thanked this government for putting a halt to teacher delocalization. He also expressed his gratitude to the administration for appointing more instructors to assist with the competency-based curriculum’s implementation.
We are awaiting additional information from TSC about the promotion of P1 teachers to junior school administrator positions. Sources close to the commission, however, suggest that the headteachers’ confirmation as principals will proceed.
The fact that some teachers have master’s degrees and others have PhDs but are not in administrative roles presents a significant challenge for TSC when making decisions. Let’s wait and see what the commission decides in the interim.
Beginning in the year 2024, students in grade 7 will transition to grade 8 in accordance with the competency-based curriculum.
