Placement results for universities and colleges are out but the government will require more than Sh30 billion to fund all the lucky students who managed to get slots.

However, if the government were to stick to its 100 per cent transition pledge, then it would require Sh66.5 billion to absorb all the 754,229 who scored between grades A and D- (minus).
