At least 12 counties are expected to carry the heaviest burden in the race to create additional space ahead of the 2023 transition from primary to secondary school.

Some secondary schools in Kakamega, Bungoma, Nairobi, Nakuru, Homa Bay, Narok, Kisumu, Busia, Meru, Kitui, Siaya, and Trans Nzoia will need about double the current space to accommodate the expected surge of learners transitioning under the new education system.
