2022 Secondary School selection and placement

While speaking at KICD during the release of 2022 secondary school placement results and selection, CS George Magoha indicated that the ministry of education will work with county and sub-county education officers to ensure 100% transition.

Schools Principals have been asked not to register students in NEMIS before they report physically so that the ministry of education can know which students have not reported.

In order to avoid overburdening parents, CS Magoha has asked secondary school principals to take caution when listing admission requirements as part of the measures to reduce the cost of education. Some of the items prof Magoha mentioned that principals should avoid in the admission requirements include exercise books provided by the government, novels, photocopying papers, full scaps, atlas, mathematical sets, hockey sticks, pangas, Jembes, etc.

Form one students are expected to report for admission on 3rd May 2022.
