Public secondary schools have until July 24 to submit accurate learner enrolment data into the Kenya Education Management Information System (Kemis). The Ministry of Education warns that failure to comply could deny thousands of learners capitation for the rest of the academic year.

Speaking during a two-day sensitisation forum on Assistive Devices in Special Needs Education at the Kenya Institute of Special Education (Kise) in Nairobi, Director of Field Coordination and Co-Curricular Activities Nelson Sifuna, urged school heads to expedite the registration.

“We are giving timelines so that they go and ensure all the children have been enrolled in KEMIS and where there are challenges, we come in to assist,” said Sifuna representing Basic Education Principal Secretary John Lekakeny Ololtuaa.
