Six weeks after the release of the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results, candidates who qualified for university admission remain in limbo as the course selection portal is yet to be opened.
On Thursday, the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) attributed the delay to a High Court ruling that nullified the new funding model introduced in September 2023, terming it unconstitutional.
With no alternative system in place, the government is unsure how students will be financed.
KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer Mercy Wahome said that the government has appealed the decision of the High Court and the case will be coming up on February 24.
