    "content": "training colleges. Most of those colleges are quite old. Setting of entry qualifications is undertaken through an established process by the TSC, which takes into account many factors to inform the entry requirements, including analysis against other professions. Finally, the last question was what action the relevant Ministry was undertaking to address the disadvantaged applicants who scored below the average mean grade of a C Plain but had one or even more of the following subjects, namely, English, Kiswahili, Mathematics and any one subject in humanities and sciences above the required score of a C Plain. The Kenya University and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) is a state corporation that provides career guidance and selects applicants for admission to universities, national polytechnics, technical training institutes and other accredited higher learning institutions for Government-sponsored programmes. The disadvantaged applicants who scored below the average grade of C Plain, plus other requisite attainments, are advised to seek other alternatives through the KUCCPS. Extensive publicity is undertaken to inform students of their options via print and social media. The application process through the KUCCPS is paperless, convenient and data-rich. That notwithstanding, the Ministry continues to engage the TSC and other stakeholders with a view of revising the minimum entry requirements in order to cater for the large number of applicants left out due to the current high entry grade since the colleges are currently lying idle. I can confirm that that is ongoing"
