As Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) opened for the first term of 2023 this week, parents were in a rush to buy various items for their children.
While some schools are ready to receive the pioneer class of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), some institutions are yet to give parents clear directions on the requirements.
A section of parents and learners who spoke to The Standard said they were still in the dark as to whether learning will take off as earlier planned in the absence of requisite logistical arrangements.
Concerning the uniforms for the Grade 7 learners, the government has directed all schools hosting junior secondary to give parents more time to purchase the required uniforms and not to coerce them.
The parents have been urged to Report any institution which will not adhere to this directive. On the Extra levies demanded by the institutions, the parents must not pay but report to the right authorities.
