Maafisa wa elimu wamechukua hatua ya kutuliza wasiwasi unaoongezeka kuhusu nafasi za gredi ya 10 huku wakisisitiza kwamba unaendelea vizuri na kwamba kila mwanafunzi tayari amepewa shule.
Katibu Mkuu wa Elimu ya Msingi Julius Bitok alisema serikali imefanikiwa kuwaweka wanafunzi wote milioni 1.1 katika shule za upili.
Akizungumza katika Shule ya Upili ya Wavulana ya Alliance, Kikuyu, siku ya Alhamisi, Bitok alipuuza ripoti za mkanganyiko, akihusisha wasiwasi huo na idadi kubwa ya wazazi wanaotaka wanao kujiunga na shule za kitaifa ilhali hawajafikisha vigezo hitajika.
Katibu huyo aliwasihi wazazi kukumbatia shule ambazo watoto wao wamewekwa badala ya kusisitiza taasisi ambazo haziwezi kukidhi mahitaji makubwa.
Aliongeza kuwa serikali iko wazi kuhusu mpango wa mpito na ina imani kwamba wanafunzi wote watajiunga na darasa la 10 bila kufuatilia.
Hata hivyo, alikiri kwamba familia kadhaa bado zinajaribu kuomba watoto wa kubadilishiwa shule, zikitarajia nafasi katika shule wanazopendelea.
Katibu Mkuu huyo alisema kwamba serikali imeruhusu marekebisho ya shule hadi kesho, Ijumaa, Januari 16, 2026, lakini aliwahimiza wanafunzi na wazazi kutumia fursa zilizotolewa tayari.
