The number of candidates who will join national secondary schools comes January 2020 has been increased to more than 30,000 from 29,000 this year.

According to the Ministry of Education, a total of 9,000 needy students, the majority of them from major slums in Kenya will receive funding from the government.

More than 1 million pupils sat their KCPE this year and the government has insisted that all of them will join secondary schools across the country.

Concerns are being raised over the availability of the Infrastructure to accommodate all the students given that the government has not expanded classrooms in various schools.

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) says it is in the process of employing close to 10,000 interns to help address the deficit of teachers across the country.

The intern teachers will be paid between 10,000 and 15,000 shillings as gross salary, meaning after deductions, the majority of them will take home less than 10,000 shillings.
