About 1,000 senior schools across the country did not register any Grade 10 learners, Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has revealed, raising concerns over the efficient use of resources.

The revelation comes even as various reports show that some schools, especially Cluster 1 and Cluster 2 schools are over-enrolled in Grade 10.
