How does a learner join junior secondary school?

After grade 6, all learners transit to Junior Secondary Schools of their choice from a FEEDER SCHOOL; which refers to a Primary School that lacks the enrollment and/or infrastructural capacity to domicile a JSS. In such cases, the (Ministry of Education) MoE will transfer the learners to a neighbouring JSS or implement appropriate affirmative action to ensure 100 percent transition.

Therefore, JSS Feeder Schools will be designated as follows:

  • In high density areas and urban informal settlements Primary Schools with an enrolment of less than 45 learners or those lacking the basic facilities to host a JSS will serve as Feeder Schools to other JSSs within a 2 kilometres
  • In geographically expansive, low density and insecurity prone areas, as well as for learners with special needs and disability, the Government through the MoE will implement affirmative action (as appropriate), regardless of the enrolments.
