The Following Candidates Miss Out On Form 1 Placement. Ezekiel Machogu, the cabinet secretary for education, has made it clear that no public secondary school accepted adult applicants for the Form One placement process.
He made it clear that only qualified applicants from the 2023 KCPE Examination will be enrolled in public secondary schools; candidates who are too old will attend adult and continuing education facilities to complete their studies.
Speaking to the audience at the Lenana School in Nairobi during the announcement of the Form One placement results, Machogu emphasized the need of carefully adhering to values in the selection and placement process, including merit, choice, equity, affirmative action, and space availability.
Candidates With More Than 400 Marks.
Candidates with a score of 400 or more, according to Machogu, were assigned to the Extra County or National school of their choice. In accordance with the predetermined guidelines, seats in county or sub-county schools were given to other applicants.
Based on their choice, merit, and disability categories, students with special needs were assigned to either ordinary or special needs schools.
In order to assist underprivileged and vulnerable children in designated slums and informal settlements, the Ministry persisted in implementing affirmative action.
This is consistent with the government’s goal of attaining educational equity. Affirmative action resulted in the placement of 130 students—150 girls and 147 boys—in national schools and 167 in additional county schools.
Machogu stressed that the Djibouti Declaration of 2017 on Regional Refugee Education was taken into account during the placement process. Pupils from elementary schools situated in refugee camps were housed, demonstrating the dedication to diversity.
The placement process was launched right away after the results of the 2023 KCPE were announced on November 23. This showed that the administration is certain it has enough space to accept all 1.4 million applicants who took part in the previous KCPE.
