Get Ready for the Live Release of 2023/2024 Form One Selection (Placement) Results! CS Machogu to Release Form One Placement Results on Monday

 

Cs Machogu to Release Form One Placement Results on Monday: It is now confirmed! The release of this year’s form one placement results will take place on Monday this week. This follows the completion of the 2023/2024 form one selection exercise that has been marred by controversy on Friday.

 

 

Confirming this,  CS Machogu said that the  announcement will take place in Nairobi, crowning the two-week placement exercise.

 

The 2023 KCPE candidates are now waiting with bated breath to see which schools they have been selected to join come January 2024.

 

 

The 2024 Form 1 placement selection kicked off on November 27 and concluded on December 11 with the aim of ensuring fairness for all 2023 KCPE candidates.

 

 

The CS emphasized the ministry’s commitment to a transparent and equitable system for Form 1 placement.

 

During the release of the 2023 KCPE results at Mtihani House, Machogu disclosed that the top KCPE candidate attained 428 marks, with only two cases of exam malpractice reported.

This is how this year’s form one placement slots will be shared

Govt Formula on Sharing Form One Slots. The Ministry of Education is done with the selection process for candidates who have recently sat for the  2023 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations. Despite 8,523 candidates scoring 400 points and above, national schools can only accommodate only 5,570 students. To address this issue, the Department designed a placement system aimed at ensuring a balance between national, regional and socio-economic factors.

With 1,406,577 applicants waiting for secondary school placement, the process is computerized and takes two weeks. Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu assures that a fair and transparent system is in place and stresses that all examinees will have the opportunity to transfer to secondary school.

 

It is noteworthy that this is the last year for KCPE and candidates who missed the exam but were in Standard Eight have a chance to take a special test in January. Selection criteria for national schools take into account student selection, overall and individual performance and the type of school attended, whether public or private. However, private schools have raised concerns about perceived bias in the selection process.

 

 

Traditionally, candidates who score 400 points and above secure places in national schools with the option of selection based on performance, affirmative action and school improvement. Students choose from national, non-district, district and sub-district institutions, while admission forms can be downloaded from the Ministry of Education portal.

While public secondary school students qualify for sponsorship through the Free Day Secondary Education programme, placement results are expected before Christmas, allowing Form One students to start their studies in January 2024.
