As the government rolls out a new placement system for senior secondary school, anxiety is growing among parents over the selection process and the infrastructure gaps in sub-county and county schools.

Many fear that their children may be placed in pathways that lack the necessary resources, forcing them to appeal their placements thus delaying their academic progress.

Experts warn that many sub-county and county schools lack the infrastructure and human resources to support Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (Stem) education.
