The Education Ministry said 1,209,697 pupils were placed in secondary schools. In the 2021 KCPE exam, 1,214,031 sat the exam. This means that 4,334 wrote the exam, but were not placed in secondary schools despite Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha saying that 100 percent primary-to-secondary transition was met.
Our Media team, however, understands that there’s a category of candidates who can’t be selected to join secondary schools due to certain reasons including confinement in correctional facilities.
