Due to the increased spaces created in the coveted schools, candidates picked per sub county may also go up. This means they will also scramble for the remaining 20,000 or more slots in national schools. The Sunday Standard established that national schools’ capacity may go up this year as it emerged that the total capacity in secondary schools increased to 1.1 million. And in sub-county schools, Ministry data revealed that there were 685,590 spaces across the 7,325 institutions.
