Monday, June 24, 2019 – Starting 2019 the Education ministry has announced that candidates who have completed their KCPE exams will not be allowed to change their secondary schools form one selection choices.
For this reason, Education CS George Magoha has ordered the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) to open the online portal to allow the candidates to revise the choices for form 1 that they had made. This revision needs to be done before Aug 2, 2019, an ample time before the exams start in October.
Candidates are expected to select 11 schools – Four (4) national schools, Three (3) extra-county schools (one from each cluster), two (2) county schools, and two (2) sub-county schools.
CS George Magoha, says they have agreed with the education stakeholders to ensure they accommodate the wishes of the candidates and their parents too due to numerous complaints in the past.
“We will no longer have a situation like we have been having in the past, where in one school you find that a top scorer is denied a chance to join their dream school, yet someone who scored less than them get placed to the schools they selected”
Education CS George Magoha
The Education Ministry realized that around second term of the academic year, the candidates usually have a full assessment and evaluation of themselves and can confidently foresee the secondary school they can qualify to enroll. This is from the class and exam assessments they do during the term.
Therefore, find below the relevant links to help you make the revision.
