However, the unexpected technical glitch has thrown their plans into disarray, highlighting the vulnerability of relying solely on digital systems for crucial processes.
The collapse of the KUCCPS portal not only disrupted the application process but also caused a ripple effect of uncertainty and anxiety among students. With deadlines looming and limited alternative avenues for seeking placement, many students find themselves in a state of limbo, unsure of how to proceed with their academic aspirations. The inability to access vital information regarding course availability, application status, and submission deadlines exacerbates their already heightened stress levels.
Speaking to http://educationmattersnews.co.ke, KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr Agnes Wahome explained that the system jammed on Friday and Saturday, following the opening of the portal on Thursday, February 8, due to the large influx of students.
KUCCPS, however, redirected the information to ease the demand on the system’s database.
On whether the timeline would be extended, Dr Wahome pointed out that the placement body would continue to monitor the system’s performance during the remaining seven days. The current timeline is set for Tuesday, February 20.
Furthermore, the frustration expressed by students underscores the importance of robust and reliable digital infrastructure in facilitating critical services, especially in the education sector. The incident serves as a wake-up call for authorities to invest in enhancing the resilience and redundancy of such platforms to prevent future occurrences of similar disruptions.
Despite the setbacks caused by the portal collapse, students have displayed resilience and determination in navigating the challenges they face. Many have turned to alternative means of seeking information and assistance, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to pursuing higher education despite the obstacles encountered.
As authorities work to restore functionality to the KUCCPS portal and address the concerns of affected students, it is imperative that lessons are learned from this experience to prevent similar occurrences in the future. In the meantime, students continue to persevere in their quest for tertiary education, fueled by their unwavering determination to overcome whatever obstacles stand in their way.
