Form One places for this year’s Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams will be announced today.
The form one placement and Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) results will be made public by the Ministry of Education
The 112 national, 776 extra county, 1,301 county, and 6,297 sub county schools will receive more than 1.2 million students who took the KCPE examinations in 2022.
The number of pupils who will be admitted to the national schools of their choosing will total 2,900 thanks to the ministry’s criteria, which grants admission to ten top performers from each of the nation’s 290 sub-counties.
It further states that the placement will also be determined by merit, equity, and choice, with affirmative action given special consideration for national schools.
The computerized placement, according to certain education stakeholders, disadvantages some students.
