Hundreds of Grade 10 students in Kenya remain stranded due to financial constraints, despite the government's push for a 100 per cent transition policy, as the extended admission window closed on Wednesday.

• The Ministry of Interior announced that 70 per cent of Grade 10 learners have been traced during a week-long mop-up exercise.
• Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen emphasized that bursaries and community resources should prevent any child from missing admission.
• Some parents, like Purity Obiero, are desperate to raise school fees, while schools like Kebirigio Boys Senior School are admitting students without uniforms or fees due to extreme need.
