In addition, he stated that “The government has to grapple with getting the final years at various levels to move on so we can create space at the lower ranks for another group to come in.”
He also added that when JHS 3 students do not move on, planning would be difficult for the younger ones at home to also move.
“It is almost like you are removing this group so you can prevent clogging so you can even think about KG going to school otherwise there will be no KG 1. Others will be backlogged behind the gate and that will make the whole planning process very complicated,” he explained.
