Kenya's Education Ministry has introduced a new law aimed at improving student transition rates from primary to secondary school. Under the new legislation, teachers and parents who fail to ensure 100% transition of their students will face severe penalties, including hefty fines and even jail terms. The law is a response to the country's persistent challenge of high dropout rates and low transition rates, particularly in rural areas. Critics, however, argue that the law may unfairly target schools and parents in disadvantaged regions, where resources and access to education are already scarce.
