The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers has called on the Ministry of Education to extend deadline for mass registration of primary and secondary school students.
The Government had already extended the initial February 20 deadline to March 31 following reports that many students were yet to be registered.
Laikipia County Executive Secretary Ndung’u Wangenye on Sunday said most learners in rural areas are yet to acquire birth certificates, which is a requirement for their data to be captured in the National Education Information Management System (Nemis).
Mr Wangenye, who is also the coordinator of Mt Kenya Teachers’ group, said the exercise was poorly managed leading to a crisis.
“The system is congested and the process is not as easy as the Government said. It is costly, time consuming and laborious.
