Schools Selling Form One Admission Letters Revealed. A legal battle is expected between a few National Schools and Extra County Schools that engaged in the illicit sale of Form 1 admission letters to parents and guardians.
Over 20 secondary schools in the North Rift are currently the subject of an investigation conducted by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
It is alleged that the institutions were selling form one admission letters.
It is reported that the majority of these institutions, particularly the extra county and national schools in the area, have victimized parents and guardians.
Details indicate that the investigations into this situation are nearing their conclusion because the heads implicated will be the ones on the receiving end.
The Nation reports that the cops have stated that the law will work itself out and that the suspects will side with each other in court.
A number of schools, particularly those in the counties of Uashin Gishu, Nandi, Elgeyo Marakwet, and Trans Nzoia, are the subject of investigations.
Schools Selling Form One Admission Letters Revealed
Candidates who posted 400 marks or more during this year’s company one student placement process were assigned to either the National or Extra County schools that they had chosen.
The primary factor used to assign students to secondary schools was their individual performance.
When they enrolled in secondary education, about 1.4 million students took part of the exams; a significant portion of them took them in public schools.
Ezekiel Machogu, the cabinet secretary for education, stated that he had advised all schools to make sure that all form one joining instructions are followed, including the recommendation to refrain from purchasing admission letters.
In the course of this year’s placement results announcement, CS Machogu declared that school heads are not supposed to coerce parents into purchasing Form One uniforms from particular retailers.
Additionally, he outlawed schools from selling parents uniforms straight from the establishment.
The CSC also issued stern warnings to school administrators not to impose additional fees on parents in opposition to the ministry.
Machogu sent another alert to institution leaders, telling them that they could face consequences if the Ministry of Education’s policies are discovered to be broken.
