Editor's Review

The reporting period for all 2023 Form One students will be from 6th February 2023 to 13th February 2023.

Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu on Monday, January 16, released the Form One Placement for the 2022 KCPE exams candidates.

Addressing the press, CS Machogu noted that some candidates did not receive proper guidance on the selection of schools which resulted in some attracting far many applicants against their capacities.  

"During the selection, it became clear that a large number of candidates did not receive proper guidance and direction when choosing schools. This resulted in some schools attracting far many applicants against their capacities," Machogu stated. 

The Education CS added, "The results of the above means many candidates will not get their choices and have to accept that it is not possible to be placed in your “dream” school. I wish to call upon head teachers and parents to ensure candidates make wise choices through proper advice." 

Here are the top ten most selected schools; the School name, selected by, and the capacity; 

Kabianga High School153,074 (Selected by)768 (Capacity)
Nanyuki High School 148,827576

CS Machogu also disclosed that 33,984 students from 2,673 schools did not select any school.

"To this end, I direct county directors of education to establish the concerned schools with a view of instituting administrative actions against the headteachers and/or schools management for failing to adequately register learners for examinations," he said. 

The reporting period for all 2023 Form One students will be from 6th February 2023 to 13th February 2023.
