The question is, will junior secondary pupils be enrolled in secondary schools, or will remain within primary school institutions? Assuming they will be enrolled in a secondary school as is widely assumed. Where are the resources yet only one class/school is ready, no dorms or extra teachers?

How is it that parents, teachers, principals & the public have no idea how junior secondary will look like seven months to commencement, what senior secondary will look like, what kind of evaluation will be done, how the transition will be done, learning resources needed? etc.
