    How Form One selection is done

    Form one selection is based on learner’s secondary school choices, overall performance, individual performance, affirmative action type of school they attended (whether public or private). Private schools have often protested bias against their candidates in the selection process.

    During selection, choices for schools, learners and parents are known to shun national schools that were recently upgraded. Candidates are required to make four choices of national schools and three of extra-county schools. They are then supposed to select two county and two sub-county institutions which accommodate more than 70 percent of the candidates.

    All learners in public secondary schools qualify for sponsorship through the Free Day Secondary Education programme at Sh22,244.

Thereafter, candidates access and download admission letters from the Ministry of Education portal.
