President Uhuru Kenyatta who is on a tour of Coast announced that his government would make it possible in 2019, for all KCPE candidates to transition into secondary school without spending a coin.
Making Education free in secondary schools will make the transition from primary school seamless, he says.
This comes even as questions abound about the success of the free primary education in public schools launched by Mwai Kibaki in 2003.
Uhuru Kenyatta, if re-elected into top office in 2017, will make it possible for every Kenyan student who sits for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) to go to secondary school for free? Critics are now saying that this could be one of their plans to win the elections come 2017.
In a statement, President Uhuru Kenyatta said that his government had increased the free day secondary education expenditure by 33 % to KSh 32 billion in the preparations to make Secondary School Education universally free.
