It is the school that should place a transfer request online, upon application by a parent. The Ministry will then approve the transfers, before the form one joins the new school. To place a transfer request online, follow the easy steps below;

4. On the new window, enter the Learner’s Index number or Unique Personal Identifier (UPI) into the ‘SEARCH (UPI/ INDEX) box and press on ‘Check.’ The learner’s details will be displayed i.e Index, Name, Gender, Marks and the School that the student has been placed.
5. Accept placement request and fill the Parent or Guardian’s name, ID no, mobile contact and request number/ File Number as captured in the school’s list. Click on apply.
6. A success message is displayed. Wait for approval of the transfer request to be effected. This may take up to one day. Approval is done at various levels of the Ministry of Education’s administrative units i.e County for county schools, Region for Extra County schools and the Ministry’s Head quarter (Jogoo) for National schools.
