Weeks ago, the Ministry of Education, together with the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service, announced the results of university and college applications that students who sat KCSE had made earlier in the year.
One of the talking points was that 2,632 students opted to join technical colleges instead of universities. In total, 88,724 will be joining colleges and technical institutes to study for certificates and diplomas. This is the first time we have such statistics.
