The first day of grade ten admissions for senior secondary schools in Kisii and Nyamira counties saw a low turnout, a change from previous years. Many schools reported fewer students than expected, though officials anticipate admissions to pick up over the next few days.

• At Kisii School, only 300 students had reported by mid-morning, out of an expected 820 students.
• The Ministry of Education allocated students to various schools, including Kereri Girls’ School with 500 placements and Sironga National School with 700 allocated students.
• Other schools like Nyambaris, Nyansiongo Boys, St. Paul’s Gekano Boys, and Nyaikuro Secondary also experienced lower-than-expected attendance on the opening day.
