Abstract: 
The study's goal was to determine how well-prepared the public secondary schools in Bungoma North Sub County were to implement the 100% transition policy. Being completely equipped to implement transition policies so that access and quality are simultaneously improved is a quality of school readiness. In Kenya, a law known as the "100% policy" makes sure that every child enrolls in primary school and successfully completes secondary school. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of implementation of the 100% transition policy on infrastructure in public secondary school in Bungoma North Sub County. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The target population consisted of 126 teachers and 27 Directors of Studies from 27 schools. 38teachers and 9 Directors of Studies were chosen from 9 schools using a purposeful sample method. After applying the Mugenda & Mugenda 30% algorithm to the population of teachers and principals, 126 teachers and 27 Directors of Studies were obtained, establishing the unit of analysis. Structured questionnaires for instructors and an interview schedule for school principals were used as data gathering tools. A pilot study using Cronbach's alpha was conducted in the neighboring county of Trans-Nzoia to evaluate the validity and reliability of the research tools. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27.0 was used to analyses the data. According to the report, schools that saw a significant rise in enrolment as a result of the program typically had inadequate infrastructural facilities. As a result, the study came to the conclusion that schools are not as ready to implement the 100% transition strategy. According to the report, in order to effectively implement the 100% policy, the government should ensure that the infrastructure, teaching and learning resources, and teachers are enough.
