Top schools are expected to open a day wing in the schools to boost form one inatke early next year.
This move will solve the problem that most principals had of taking a limited intake because of accommodation facilities.
Nairobi School, Lenana high school and Moi Girls Nairobi are among the national schools that are set to roll out the programme in 2018. CS Matiang’i said the programme will roll out to other National schools across the country.
The institutions that have been approached to pilot the programme are however skeptical that the government will not provide them with funds to construct more classrooms in order to accommodate the additional number of students.
