Parents can now access information about the secondary schools where their children, who took the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education examination, have been chosen to enroll.
Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu released the results on Monday morning at Lenana School in Nairobi following a two-week placement exercise conducted by the ministry. To check the placement results, Machogu advised parents to download the placement letters directly from the Ministry of Education website (http://www.education.go.ke/).
Upon reaching the website, navigate to the “Online Services” section, where two links are provided. Click on the first link titled: “Click here to Access Form One Placement: link 1.” This will redirect you to the Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS) website, accessible directly via the link http://kemis.education.go.ke.
On the KEMIS website, locate the section titled “2024 Form One Selection and Placement” and click to open the tab. You will then need to input the candidate’s index number and one of their names if they have two names, e.g., John Sue (input either John or Sue). Click the search option, and the results will be displayed on the screen.
Once the results are visible, find a section below titled “Access calling letter Here” and click on it. This action will direct you to a page containing a link titled “Click here to Access Form One School Placement Letter.” Click on this link to download the placement letter.
CS Machogu assured Kenyans that the website has undergone thorough testing, proving to be 100% accurate and operational. He mentioned that the school choices made by the students were among the criteria used in the placement process. Some students may have been placed in schools of equivalent standing outside their counties, especially those from counties with insufficient capacity, leading to the possibility of students attending secondary school in another county due to space limitations.
Additionally, Machogu assured parents that there would be no fee increment next year as their children enter secondary schools. He stated, “The government is committed to providing free day secondary education, which includes an allocation for tuition and operational expenses. The fees charged in secondary schools will remain unchanged in 2024, with schools continuing to receive funds based on accurate enrollment data.”
