Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu, while presiding over the 2024 Form One placement at Lenana School on Monday, said the placements were done according to candidate choices and other criteria.
“Some students were placed in schools of equivalent standing outside their counties. This includes those from counties with inadequate capacity,” Machogu stated.
This will see candidates move to secondary schools within their counties, or outside.

The CS further assured that gov’t is committed to seeing a full transition to secondary schools, stating that the fees for day and boarding schools will remain unchanged.
“Gov’t upholds its commitment to providing free day secondary education which includes allocation for tuition and operation expenses. The fees charged in secondary schools will remain unchanged in 2024. Schools will continue to receive funds based on accurate enrolment data,” said Machogu.
Additionally, the CS urged parents and guardians of the candidates to download placement letters directly, and not through middlemen.
Candidates will access placement results through the Ministry of Education website.
On the Ministry’s website, they will then search Form One placements. This will direct them to the Form One selection page, where they can access the placement results.
The results can also be accessed directly through the Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS), by clicking this link.
In addition, candidates will download forms containing Form One joining instructions from the KEMIS website.
“I assure Kenyans that this website has been tested and proven and is 100% accurate. It is in operation,” Machogu said.

What’s more, Principal Secretary for Basic Education Belio Kipsang who was present at the event highlighted ongoing efforts with the National Treasury to expedite first-term capitation payments for school reopening in January 2024.
“We’re collaborating with the Treasury to release capitation for schools; let’s make sure we’re adhering to fee regulations, exercising caution when communicating, and living within the constraints that have been set.” Let’s not go beyond the ministry’s guidelines,” Belio stated.
This comes after CS Machogu revealed last month, during the KCPE results announcement, that 8,525 candidates—or 0.60% of the class—out of the 1,406,557 candidates received more over 400 marks.
Furthermore, 24.92% of this year’s cohort, or 352,782 candidates, received scores between 300 and 399.
