The Ministry of Education has just released the reporting dates for all 2020 form one students.
The reporting date set by the Ministry of Education is between Monday 13th January to Friday 17th January 2019.
This means that the new entrants into Kenyan secondary schools have only one week- 7 days extra to prepare themselves adequately as opposed to the other form two, three and four students.
FORM ONE SELECTION TO NATIONAL SCHOOLS
33, 000 2019 KCPE candidates have already received invitation letters to join National schools.
There are 186 national schools in Kenya distributed across all the 47 counties where these students will join.
SECOND SELECTION
Professor Magoha has confirmed that there will be no second selection for form one students’ admission since this first selection was done based on merit, choice and equity.
Professor Magoha said this during the official release of the 2020 form one admission results on 2nd December, 2019.
PANGANI GIRLS 2020 FORM ONE ADMISSION
According to the Ministry of Education’s statistics, Pangani Girls High attracted the highest number of 2019 KCPE candidates, 111,817 learners who picked the school as their first choice/option.
Unfortunately, Pangani Girls can only accommodate 336 form one students given its low capacity.
Alliance Girls also attracted 83, 489 whereas Kenya High lured 9, 797 2019 KCPE applicants.
2020 FORM ONE ADMISSION LETTERS
2020 Form One Admission Letters to National, Extra-County, County and Sub-County secondary schools will be available for download at the Ministry of Education’s official website below
https://www.education.go.ke/
Schools have also received individual students’ admission letters which have already been uploaded onto the National Education Management Information System, NEMIS Portal below
https://nemis.education.go.ke/
KCPE candidates who only selected two schools out of eleven will count themselves unlucky since they will be forced to join schools they never chose.
OVERWHELMING NUMBERS
CS Magoha further challenged Members of Parliament to construct more schools within their constituencies to cater for the overwhelming numbers of Kenyan learners who would wish to quench their thirst for education.
Mombasa and Nairobi are the worst hit when it comes to school shortages. Consequently, some learners had to be forcefully placed in Extra county and County secondary schools outside their home counties.
CS MAGOHA ON ELIMU SCHOLARSHIPS
CS Magoha also urged learners to apply for the Elimu Scholarship to receive financial aid which can propel them through secondary school education.
