As the government rolls out a new placement system for senior secondary school, anxiety is growing among parents over the selection process and the infrastructure gaps in sub-county and county schools.

Many fear that their children may be placed in pathways that lack the necessary resources, forcing them to appeal their placements thus delaying their academic progress.
