Form One Admission Letters 2024
The 2024 Form One Placement for students who took the 2023 KCPE exams is now complete. To check where you'll be studying, you can easily get the results through SMS or online. The placement is based on how well you did in the KCPE exam, as well as other factors like affirmative action and the availability of spots in different types of schools.
In Kenya, schools are divided into National, Extra County, County, or Sub-County categories. If you score above 400 marks, you get priority for national schools, which includes special-needs education schools.
In the latest update, Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu announced that 1,400,329 students who sat for the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) have successfully secured their Form One placement.
The selection process, based on principles like merit, choice, equity, and space availability, resulted in 717,358 boys and 682,971 girls gaining admission to National Schools, Special Needs Education, Extra County, County schools, and Sub-county schools.
Notable institutions such as Kabianga High School, Nanyuki High School, and Alliance High School were among the most selected. For the 2024 Form One admission, candidates can access their results through the Ministry of Education website or the Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS).
Machogu emphasized the importance of parents obtaining admission letters directly from the Ministry's website to avoid intermediaries and potential extortion. The government's commitment to providing free and compulsory education was highlighted, with warnings against schools imposing additional fees beyond the limits set by the Ministry, ensuring access to education for children from all backgrounds.
