The Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association (KESSHA) highlights the issue of overcrowding in many schools and suggests placing more students in sub-county schools.

Ezekiel Machogu, while announcing last year’s placement, expressed disappointment that major towns lack enough schools, resulting in students being placed far from their urban homes.
