BELOW IS A DETAILED GUIDE ON THE 2020 FORM ONE SELECTION CRITERIA TO NATIONAL, EXTRA COUNTY, COUNTY AND SUB COUNTY SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN KENYA.
2020 FORM ONE SELECTION TO NATIONAL SCHOOLS
National schools have been previously admitting KCPE candidates who attain at least 400 marks.
The 2020 form one selection might, however, be different since only 9, 770 2019 KCPE candidates attained the pass mark.
This, therefore, means that more slots will have to be filled to meet the declared capacity of 30, 000 students.
According to KNEC statistics, a total of 253, 000 2019 KCPE candidates scored 300 marks and above.
Consequently, those who posted quality grades are likely to fill the remaining 20, 000 slots in National schools across Kenya.
The Ministry of Education may be forced to lower the entry mark for National schools.
