The suspension of the newly introduced Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) July examination for repeat candidates risks yet another financial crisis for schools.
In the meantime, public and private secondary institutions are experiencing a significant drop in student numbers this year due to the absence of Form One admissions.
This has led to a significant drop in funding, as public schools rely on government capitation, and private schools depend on school fees.
Restriction on repeat candidates has further complicated any plans to boost student enrolment in secondary schools.
