4 BACKGROUND INFORMATION As at 5 th February, 2019, data indicated that the Ministry of Education had realized 87 per cent Form one transition rate. This means that 895,987 students had fully enrolled in Form one. The rate rose to 90 per cent by 8 th February, 2019, whereby 920,765 students had been enrolled. The Ministry launched the Last Mile 100% Transition National Campaign on 7 th February, At the time of the launch, the National Transition Rate was at 87%. It was however noted that Counties in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) recorded low TRs. This campaign embraced a multi sectoral approach to mop up learners who had not reported to school. In every County, teams comprising officials from the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, Ministry of Education, NGOs, Teachers Unions and other Education Stakeholders worked together to ensure every learner outof-school was enrolled in school. The National TR has since the launch of the campaign improved to per cent with 931,148 students in Form One as at 22 nd February, However, Mombasa, Kwale, Kitui and Embu Counties are still registering TRs below 80 per cent. County multi-sectoral teams are working together to unlock the challenges curtailing improved transition. 4

5 Nairobi County presents a unique case where the transition rate currently stands at 87%. The number of schools in Nairobi County are relatively few compared to the candidature in the County. Accordingly, a large number of students from the County join schools outside Nairobi. CONCLUSION From the foregoing, the following conclusions can be deduced: - 1. The Ministry is on track to achieve the objective of 100% Transition. 2. Reported numbers are likely to increase as reporting continues. 3. Socio-economic hindrances such as poverty can be associated with the low reporting rates in select Counties. 4. The calculated percentages include learners who have transited to TVET institutions and excludes learners who have opted to re-take the KCPE examination this year. 5. The entries may register slight variations due to adoption of a different formula which accounts for repeated students and those who have joined TVETs. 5

6 6. The base line used to calculate the TR represents the Counties declared admission capacities and is summarized as follows: TR = (R+T) x 100% (E-r) Where: TR=Transition Rate R=reported students T=joined TVETs E=Expected entry r=leaners who have opted to re-take the KCPE examination this year. 6
