A major crisis is looming as secondary schools struggle to accommodate the high number of students in order to meet the government’s 100 per cent primary to secondary transition policy.
Other pupils in the countryside were yesterday staring at the possibility of failing to join secondary school due to lack of fees as parents face hard economic times.
In Nyanza and Western, most schools reported high turn-out of Form One students.
For instance, Maseno School in Kisumu County said his school expected to admit 650 students, 100 more than last year.
