No Learner Transfer To Another School
In a resolute announcement made during the afternoon of November 3, 2023, the Kenyan government has finally ended its silence on the issue of student transfers between educational institutions. Director of Education, Roselyn Litaba, took center stage to deliver this significant directive, stating that the government now firmly prohibits the arbitrary and unnecessary movement of students between schools.
The government of Kenya has issued a stern warning to parents who engage in such transfers without valid reasons. These parents risk the forfeiture of their students’ registration on the Ministry of Education’s NEMIS System.

No Learner Transfer To Another School
The rationale behind this immediate ban on indiscriminate student transfers is rooted in the government’s earnest commitment to ensuring that every student is accounted for within the education system.
The Ministry of Education has been grappling with a pressing challenge: tracking the educational progress of students who frequently shift between schools. As a consequence, these students often slip off the Ministry’s radar, leaving their educational status uncertain.
The Kenyan government recognizes the imperative need to address this issue to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the education system.
