Anxiety is building over the selection and admission to universities and colleges of more than 962,000 candidates who sat last year's Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations.
Among these are 246,291 who scored C+ and above and qualified for universities admission.
Even though there is an ongoing intake for those seeking to join technical colleges, the uncertainty over funding and failure by Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba to give direction is causing jitters.
Two weeks after the release of the examination results, the Ministry of Education is yet to provide direction on when the student portal will open for applications to join universities under government sponsorship.
