The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) has directed all Senior school principals to submit updated Grade 10 learner data by subject.
In a notice published on Wednesday, April 1, KICD said it is seeking to confirm Grade 10 enrolment data in all public senior schools.
The institute wants updated figures on the number of learners taking different subjects by the end of the first term in 2026.
“All principals of public senior schools are requested to submit the current number of Grade 10 learners by subject and textbooks received per subject,” read the notice in part.

The institute informed all Senior School Principals that the first phase of the distribution of Grade 10 textbooks has been completed, guided by the data initially provided by the Ministry of Education (MoE).

Meanwhile, Education PS Julius Bitok announced that the government plans to prioritize the release of capitation funds to schools and ensure the full distribution of Grade 10 textbooks ahead of the start of the second term.

The assurance and KICD announcement come amid earlier concerns over potential learning disruptions in senior schools due to textbook shortages under the new curriculum.
In February, the Ministry of Education said it had already distributed over 8.3 million course materials and literary texts to public schools, representing about 71 percent of the national requirement.
This comes after KICD, in a status update issued on February 15, attributed the delays to fluctuating learner numbers and subject choices following placement into senior schools.
KICD Chief Executive Charles Ong’ondo noted that the initial printing pace had been slower than expected.
