Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu, on Monday, December 18, unveiled the results of the Form One placement.

Speaking at Lenana School, Machogu reiterated that the process was fair, with most candidates getting their school of choice.

He added that all 1.4 million candidates who sat the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) were placed in schools.

Form One admission results can be accessed by visiting the Ministry of Education portal: education.go.ke or kemis.education.go.ke.

"Some students were placed in schools of equivalent standing outside their counties. This includes those from counties with inadequate capacity," Machogu noted.

"I assure Kenyans that this website has been tested and proven and is 100% accurate. It is in operation."

Schools can access their combined list of students placed to their list on the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS).

According to the CS, candidates who secured more than 400 marks in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) were placed in national and extra-county schools of choice.

The CS also has asked Regional Directors of Education and County Education Directors to ensure that principals of secondary schools don't impose additional levies on parents beyond the limit the Ministry of Education has stipulated.

According to Machogu, the County Education Board (CEB) has no power to approve school fees outside the one stipulated.

Late last month, CS Machogu noted that the placement would be done within two weeks and before Christmas. 

The placement exercise kicked off on November 27, with the CS assuring Kenyans that the process would be fair to all the candidates.
