2022 Form One Placement Results Now A Nightmare for TSC and MoE

The 2022 form one selection Results that were released on Monday are threatening to wreck havoc both in TSC and the Ministry of Education.

This follows the latest move by parents and other lobby groups to manually change the 2022 form one Placement Results instead of using the conventional online procedure.

Speaking during the release of the form one Placement Results this year,  Education CS implored upon candidates and parents to accept the selection results but this message seems to have fallen on deaf ears as parents now push for massive transfer of their candidates.

According to lobby groups backing up the change of form one placement results 2022, some KCPE candidates were selected to join secondary schools in far flung areas including the infamous North Eastern Region. Besides this, the candidates were selected to join schools that they never selected.

Parents and candidates therefore feel that it is futile to take part in the selection of school choices.

Some feel that the Ministry of Education should place candidates randomly since preferred school choices do not seem to matter when it comes to the actual placement.

Now lobby groups are pushing for major changes in form one placement that may trigger a major shake up in the Education Ministry and TSC.

The change of form one placement is normally done online. If parents manage to change placement results manually, some schools might not achieve balancing or meet their capacities this year. Moreover, the Teachers Service Commission may have a rough time trying to balance the ratio between teachers and students in secondary schools.

The Commission has already lined up massive transfers of both classroom teachers and school administrators aimed at achieving staff balancing across the counties and regions.
