A 4 day National Junior Secondary School conference is set to be held at Tenwek Boys High School in Bomet County on Saturday.

The conference, which runs from 3rd to 7th August is part of the preparations for the commencement of the senior Secondary school that kicks off in 2026.

Tenwek High School Principal Mutali Chesebe said the conference was organized by the Ministry of Education through the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development.

Addressing the press at the school, Chesebe noted students will be guided on the 3-path ways, namely sports, drama and STEM.

“Grade 7 and 8 learners will gather here for 4 days to be guided on issues relating to senior school in 2026. The responsibility of preparing students squarely lies with teachers hence should not be left to others,” he said.

He invited parents and grade 7 and 8 learners, stating that several schools from across the country have confirmed attendance.

He expressed hope the conference will be beneficial, adding that renowned personalities, who include retired principals and KICD and other Education officers will grace the occasion.

“ I want to invite parents and al grade 7 and 8 learners here in our school. Registration will go on here in school and some schools in Nairobi, Western, Kisumu and Uasin Gishu have confirmed attendance,” he stated.

Chesebe said teachers have a role to prepare students, adding that Tenwek, being a national school, hosts this year’s conference because it has the capacity to accommodate all participants.

“Such a conference was held at Alliance High school between 2012 and 2016 and we have brought it here because Tenwek is a national school. We have the capacity to accommodate all students. Retired Kakamega High School principal Oliver Minishi, his Alliance counterpart Peter Khaemba and other Professionals and Education officers will be here, added Chesebe.
