We need more teachers for those subjects
Wo learnt Creative arts surely Creative arts should be eliminated from this exam, Government thinks they learnt all that in Grade 7 where there was confusion, introducing new subjects like health education and again demolishing and computer who learnt,Help these kids
Who will mark this exam
Waiting to see how everything will unfold
God will judge you hard all the SAGAS for messing with a kenyan child….the learners didn’t learn well in js yet you want to test them….no human resources;no infrastructure….
Not bad
Employ more teachers here
What
Our children have been sacrificed. How can one or two teachers handle two classes and teaching subjects they’re unfamiliar with?
Who will mark English paper 901/1?
Who will mark English paper 901/1?
Thanks for informing us early
you people are dreaming! The things you’re talking about is not happening on the ground.
How now yu pple r killing us with the subjects
We need more teachers, and who will mark the exam
Not bad
Thanks I advance
So what after this KJSEA. They’re done with school what?
No balancing in posting jss teachers , some schools have no jss teachers while others are flooded with teachers. The primary school teachers have been teaching those children for 2 good years yet they are not paid for the good work done. Consider this and promote those teachers.
Treat Kenyan child with alot of care not like robots.
Primary school teachers are struggling to teach these children high school syllabus.
I hope KICD is sensitive to these reactions
Aiiii?
