The number of candidates who have qualified for university admission in the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination has increased by a 22 percent, turning the heat on institutions of higher learning, which are already dogged by financial challenges to keep education programmes running.
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba announced on Thursday that the number of students who scored above C+, the minimum grade required for university admission, rose to 246,391 from 201,133 last year.
