More than 500,000 students who sat the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination have not been placed in tertiary institutions, dealing a severe blow to the 100 per cent transition policy championed by the government.

In results released by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) on Tuesday, just 258,935 students out of the 890,654 eligible for degree, diploma, craft certificate and artisan certificate programmes have been placed.
