The quality of secondary school education remains poor – as reflected in an increase in the failure rates in the Certificate of Secondary Education (of Form 4) examinations over the past few years. The new policy is a part response to the public outcry sparked by the high rate of student failure of Form 4 exams. Measures to improve the quality of secondary school education include boosting teacher motivation and improving school infrastructure.
Hata hivyo, kwa upande wa elimu ya sekondari, ubora wake pia hauridhishi – hii inadhihirishwa na kuendelea kushuka kwa kiwango cha ufaulu katika mitihani ya Taifa. Sera hii mpya ni sehemu ya mkakati wa kujibu malalamiko ya wananchi kulikotokana na matokeo mabaya ya kidato cha 4. Hatua za kuinua ubora wa elimu ya sekondari ni pamoja na kuinua ari ya walimu na kuboresha miundombinu ya elimu.
