2020 KCPE candidates told to revise form one school choices

Leave a comment

The Ministry of Education has asked the 2020 KCPE candidates to revise their 2021 secondary school choices. Learners will have an opportunity of making necessary changes to Sub County (Day school) choices before sitting their KCPE exams in March this year.

“In order to enable the Ministry place all learners to secondary schools centrally, candidates must revise their subcounty schools choices (referred to day schools).” Reads a circular sent to all Sub County Directors of Education.

According to the Circular, the Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) has therefore made it possible for learners through their schools to revise the choices between 15th February, 2021 and 26th February, 2021.

This latest move has been informed by the recent disruptions caused by the Covid 19 pandemic and wgich may have led to migration of families to other areas as a result of job losses.

“Kindly advise all primary schools presenting candidates for KCPE that the choice of day schools will be based on the parents/guardians/area of residence.” The circular further says.

This is a departure from the past where candidates made choices from schools within sub counties where they sat for examinations. In essence day schools should be within commutable distance from their residence.

KCPE top girl dreams big concerning the Chief Justice post

Leave a comment

Kaila Raha, who emerged among the top ten performers in Nakuru County in this year’s Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE), believes she will attain her desire to join Alliance Girls High School.

The 13-year-old girl who did her KCPE examinations at St George’s Academy within Nakuru East Sub-county and scored 417, hopes to join Harvard University after her secondary education and pursue a course in law. She is happy to have set a good base for her dream career.

“I attribute my performance to my teachers and mother. They supported me when the Country was devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic interrupting learning in schools,” said Raha.

“I put in more efforts and my mother supported me by ensuring that I went on with my studies. The management of St George’s Academy put in place online lessons to ensure all candidates were engaged. My ambition is to become Kenya’s Chief Justice, someday,” she said.

Raha is elated that girls performed better than boys in the exams done under difficult circumstances following prolonged closure of schools and restrictions occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Eight Kilometers away, David Ndung’u of Bahati North Academy, situated in Bahati Sub-county has been observing muted celebrations after bagging 405 marks in the examinations.

In his own words, the excited Ndung’u said he was surprised by the results. The 13-year-old boy describes himself as an average pupil who God’s miracle ensured he performed beyond his expectations.

Ndung’u is hopeful to join Alliance Boys High school for his secondary education and later pursue a career in medicine.

He said a decision by the Head Teacher of Bahati North Academy to set a counseling department which organized counseling sessions for candidates at their homes when Covid-19 struck was the biggest contributor to impressive KCPE performance at the institution.

The Department, he observed, played a crucial role when school reopened, where it was able to do psychological clinics by counseling teachers and pupils.

“We were counseled to focus and know that everything is possible if we believe and work towards it. The candidates’ hopes were rejuvenated as we were encouraged that Covid-19 will not throw our education sector deep into turmoil,” said Ndung’u.

Catherine Njoki of St George’s Academy, who scored 392 marks, attributed her success to hard work, prayers, and the conducive environment for learning at the school.

“I was sitting in the house with other family members when the Education Cabinet Secretary, Professor George Magoha, read out this year’s KCPE results. I later sent a message through my phone and found out that I scored 392 marks.

I am expecting to join State House Girls High School. The good results came as a surprise to me and the family,” said the last born in a family of three children.

Raha’s mother Hellen Waithera and the St George’s Academy’s Principal, Ephantus Mwaniki, could not hide their joy after receiving the results.

“My daughter has done us proud and it is through hard work and discipline that she has excelled in the examinations,” said Ms Waithera.

“So far I am happy with the results and I thank the school management. I will let my daughter decide what she wants to do in life. I am not the kind of parent to force a child to do what I want,” she added.

Mwaniki said the student had consistently demonstrated her abilities at the school. “We are happy that the girl has performed well in the KCPE examination. This is a reflection of her hard work, determination and discipline,” said the Principal.

Bahati North Academy Head Teacher, Patrick Wesonga, attributed the good results to hard work by teachers and the students. “We had a programme that targeted the weak and focused our energies on working as a group.

“I also attribute my success to God, parents, teachers and friends who helped us, hard work pays,” he said.

The number of candidates who scored 400 marks and above in the 2020 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination dropped by 16.4 per cent for a second year in a row.

The school calendar was interrupted by the long closure occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Of the 1,179,192 million pupils who sat for the national exams last month, 8,091 scored above 400, a drop from 9,673 in 2019”, Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha noted, as he released the results, on Thursday.

The top KCPE candidate scored 433 marks, seven points below 2019’s record of 440 marks.

Education CS wants fresh data on all schools, learners

Leave a comment

Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha has directed that his office be furnished with accurate data on number of schools and learners. Through a circular dated December 10, 2019, the CS notes that the actual number of all schools in the country is not known.

“It has come to my attention that the State Department of Early Learning and Basic Education does not maintain accurate and reliable database on the number of physical schools and the actual number of pupils that can be relied on for effective decision making,” says CS Magoha.

Also read;

 For all details about other schools in Kenya, please visit the link below;

According to the CS, lack of accurate information has hampered effective service delivery in the Education Sector. He has thus directed all County Directors of Education to urgently compile data on the actual number of pupils in grade two (2) to eight (8). Also to be collated is data on the physical number of schools; both secondary and primary schools. “This information should reach this office (the Education Headquarters at Jogoo House; Nairobi) by Monday December 23, 2019,” the CS directs.

Schools are always expected to update the data on all learners and employees on the Ministry’s portal; National Education Management Information System (NEMIS). But, some schools may be having incomplete data. Data captured on NEMIS is used for disbursement of government fee capitation among other functions.

The CS now warns that schools with incorrect data will miss out on Fees Capitation and other government services. “This information is required for 2020 capitation and other critical decisions. It is reiterated that no institution shall receive capitation or any other Ministerial service without this data,” warns the CS.

Early this year, a number of schools missed capitation due to inaccurate data on NEMIS. The Ministry had to surcharge institutions that had exaggerated their learners’ populations.

All learners in public secondary schools receive government capitation of Sh22,244 per year. The Government disburses the capitation money on a ratio of 50 per cent for first term, 30 per cent in the second and 20 per cent for third term.

Leave a comment

2021 Form ones latest news- All Kenya Certificate of Primary Education examination candidates will get Form One placement in June in line with the government’s 100 percent transition policy, Early Learning and Basic Education Principal Secretary Dr Julius Jwan has assured parents and guardians.

Dr Jwan said admitting all candidates to secondary schools was in line with Article 53(1) (b) of the Kenya Constitution on provision of free and compulsory basic education to every Kenyan child.

Speaking in Nakuru where he supervised the opening of examination containers before touring several examination centres in the county, the Principal Secretary said the Education Ministry had developed water-tight criteria to ensure the form-one placement process was objective and transparent.

He put on notice school heads who disregard the government’s fees guidelines and demand extra money from parents, warning that disciplinary action would be taken against them.

Dr Jwan called on parents to ensure the safety of candidates amidst Covid-19 pandemic ahead of their expected admission to Form One in June this year.

This year’s KCPE examination were postponed from November last year following prolonged closure of schools ordered by President Uhuru Kenyatta on March 14th after the first case of the deadly coronavirus was reported in the country.

The Principal Secretary said he was impressed by centre managers, invigilators and security personnel who had ensured that the candidates wrote their exam papers under strict health protocols to curb the spread of the virus.

He said no major incidents were reported as the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education exams come to a close across the country. A total of 54,751 candidates in Nakuru wrote the examinations in 1,061 centers.

Dr Jwan said the ongoing heavy rains in some parts of the country had not disrupted the examinations adding that the government had been adequately prepared in the event of event of emergencies.

On Monday, candidates sat their Mathematics test in the morning and English and Composition later in the day. On Tuesday, they took Science, Kiswahili, and Insha before ending with Social and Religious studies on Wednesday. There were strict guidelines to curb cheating.

Invigilators checked candidates’ facemasks following reports that some were planning to use them in cheating.

Dr Jwan said they had recorded eight cases of candidates in Nyamira-Borabu who had not been registered for examination after private institutions they were learning in were closed down.

“We undertook the necessary procedures and ensured that the candidates did not miss out on their examination by having the government pay for their registration as it had done for the rest of the candidates,” he revealed.

He urged teachers and security personnel to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as they were front line workers whose levels of exposure to the deadly virus were higher than the general populace.

He also confirmed that no case of Covid-19 ill candidates had been reported during the exercise.  The government had earlier indicated that students who might fall sick with Covid-19 symptoms during the exam period will have to do the test in isolation rooms.

Dr Jwan said the Ministry was adequately prepared to administer Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations whose rehearsals kick off on Thursday.

Magoha was also in praise of teachers who participated in the process of administering the examination as Centre Managers, Supervisors and Invigilators. he added that more than 99.9 per cent of contracted professionals and centre managers did their job with 100 per cent precision.

He said the KCSE 2020 examinations did not leak and that all attempts to expose examination papers were thwarted in a timely manner in a few centers across the country.

” We experienced a number of cases where examination officials attempted to open the papers with the intention of exposing them to candidates before the actual examinations started. We thwarted these efforts in a few centres countrywide, some of which I released to you during my weekly briefs,” CS Magoha said.

Magoha said a total of 27 officials were relieved of their various duties as centre managers, supervisors or invigilators over allegations of violating regulations guiding the administration of examinations. Teachers who were involved in the irregularities will face disciplinary action from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).

“As a Ministry, we will be presenting the list of teachers believed to be behind some of the examination offences to the TSC for action.” He reported.

According to CS Magoha, another 37 civilians, including three university students and two businessmen, were arrested for attempting to engage (or assist) in examination irregularities. Also Fifty-three cell phones were confiscated from candidates at examination rooms during the exercise.

Read the full statement from CS Magoha, below;

PRESS STATEMENT CONCLUSION OF THE 2020 KCSE EXAMINATION AND LAUNCH OF MARKING EXERCISE

“We have today come to the successful conclusion of the 2020 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) Examination, which started on March 26, 2021.

We have converged here after witnessing the last Practical paper in the Arts and Design, which is one of the elective subjects.

This is yet another good moment for us given that the four weeks of the KCSE examination have come to a flawless completion in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are all proud and happy to congratulate the 752,891 candidates who sat this examination that is expected to open doors to their progress to various careers. I also wish to commend our gallant teachers who participated in the process of administering the examination as Centre Managers, Supervisors and Invigilators.

Indeed, more than 99.9 per cent of contracted professionals and centre managers did their job with 100 per cent precision.

More fundamentally, I wish to thank the national monitoring team members comprising the Ministry of Education, TSC, Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and other ministries and departments who visited all parts of the country to ensure the examination process was not only smooth but also credible.

Cases of KCSE 2020 exam irregularities

Besides, our deliberate decision to work with the public in the management of the examinations proved to be a game changer, as ordinary citizens volunteered critical leads that helped us pre-empt cases of irregularities in some parts of the country.

Over the examination period, we:

  • Experienced a number of cases where examination officials attempted to open the papers with the intention of exposing them to candidates before the actual examinations started.

We thwarted these efforts in a few centres countrywide, some of which I released to you during my weekly briefs. In all, I can confidently announce to the country that none of the 2020 KCSE Examination papers was leaked, save for the unethical early exposure of questions, which was firmly dealt with and did not benefit any of the candidates.

  • A total of 27 officials were relieved of their various duties as centre managers, supervisors or invigilators over allegations of violating regulations guiding the administration of examinations. As a Ministry, we will be presenting the list of teachers believed to be behind some of the examination offences to the TSC for action.
  • A total of 37 civilians, including three university students and two businessmen, were arrested for attempting to engage (or assist) in examination irregularities.
  • Fifty-three cell phones were confiscated from candidates at examination rooms during the exercise. As we speak, security agencies are busy conducting thorough forensic investigations to find out if the gadgets were used to aid any form of cheating.

I once again sincerely thank officials involved in delivering this year’s KCSE and Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations.

Moving ahead, we are today going to launch the marking of the KCSE examination papers. This will be a meticulous process that will be conducted by experienced examiners. We are all determined to ensure grades awarded to our learners are all merited and that our academic qualifications are beyond reproach.

I wish candidates the very best of luck as they proceed home to rest, awaiting the release of the KCSE examinations results.

APPLICATION FOR 9,000 ELIMU SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

As I announced during the release of the KCPE results on April 15, 2020, the Government will award 9,000 scholarships to needy and vulnerable 2020 KCPE candidates, including those from informal settlements and urban slums.

I am happy to announce that the Ministry has launched the application process for all legible candidates today. I request all the 2020 KCPE candidates wishing to be considered for the Elimu Scholarship Programme to apply through the online portal https://egfdmis.equitybank.co.ke/.

As was the case last year, the Government has contracted the Equity Group Foundation to assist in the selection process, to ensure it is fair and transparent. More information will be released on the application and selection process of the scholarship in due course.

New learning areas as schools set to offer personal skills and psychological skills training

Leave a comment

Schools will now be expected to offer training to learners in personal skills and psychological skills. This is after President Uhuru Kenyatta signed into law the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (Amendment) Bill of 2019.

The new law mandates KICD to incorporate personal safety and psychosocial skills training in the curricula for basic and tertiary institutions.

The overall objective of the Act is to enhance the country’s disaster preparedness especially in learning institutions. The new training will enable schools and learners to deal with such disasters as school fire outbreaks and the recent covid-19 pandemic; among others.

Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi, Leader of Majority in the National Assembly Aden Duale and Treasury CS Ukur Yattani attended the signing ceremony on Thursday.

Also present were Attorney General Paul Kihara, Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua, State House Deputy Chief of Staff Njee Muturi and National Assembly Clerk Michael Sialai.

The new law will now enable the KICD to redesign the curriculum so as to incorporate the new training areas. Learners’ safety has been a major concern for a long time now following various fire incidents in the past where some of them sadly lost lives.

These changes come at a time when the government is rolling out the new competency based curriculum, CBC.

Schools’ reopening fate to be announced next week

Leave a comment

National Covid-19 Education Response Committee winded up the exercise of collecting views from Kenyans on Friday evening. The week long exercise saw the committee receive various proposals from about 3,000 individuals and groups on how learning institutions should be reopened.

The committee will be writing a report advising the cabinet secretary on how best to reopen basic education institutions, review and reorganize the academic calendar among other tasks.

PROPOSALS SUBMITTED TO THE COMMITTEE BY VARIOUS STAKE HOLDERS

A section of stake holders have been irked by a proposal by secondary school teachers’ representatives to have part of the learners back to school next month. The groups including the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut), Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) and Kenya Human  Rights Commission (KHRC) in a statement this past week said proposal by Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) to partially reopen schools in June was ‘ill advised’.

“It is insensitive, pre-emptive, foolhardy and extremely wrong for anybody outside the medical profession or without medical expertise to propose the rushed reopening of schools in the wake of coronavirus pandemic, especially at this period when the virus is on spiral, threatening survival of humanity,” the three institutions said.

“Preliminary results from a rapid response survey rolled out by the agencies indicate that the situation on the ground is different and might require more effective measures to be put in place before such an action of reopening is undertaken,” they added.

The three groups have been bitter over the move by Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha to exclude them from the committee tasked with coming up with proposals on how to restart learning.

And in expression of their anger, the three groups (Knut, KHRC and Kuppet) did not make their proposals to the constituted committee was just ‘a mere rubberstamp considering the manner in which it was constituted’. They said caution should be taken and there should be no rushed reopening of learning institutions. The ‘rebel’ group says provision of personal protective equipment and enforcement of other containment such as hand washing, fumigation of institutions and mass testing must be mandatory before schools reopen.

“It is worth noting that countries like France, which have attempted to reopen schools witnessed a resurgence of the virus, further affecting many teachers and learners,” reads the statement.

Also read;

Primary school heads on their part want the school annual calendar revised and KCPE and KCSE exams postponed until learners are well prepared to sit the examinations.

“The National examinations should be rescheduled to later dates when candidates are adequately prepared,” reads a proposal by Kenya Primary Schools Heads association (Kepsha) presented to the national covid-19 education response committee.

Kepsha says schools should not be reopened until the pandemic curve is flattened; adding that the situation will be worse in most schools that are overcrowded and social distancing would just be a mirage.

“The covid-19 spread in the country is rising day by day. Therefore, no schools should open until the virus is fully eradicated or brought under country in the country. In Nairobi county for instance, children are congested in the classrooms with so many pupils ranging from about 70 to 110 children per classroom in most schools”. add the primary school heads via a memo signed by the national chairperson, Nicholas Gathemia.

Among other proposals, the heads say class sizes should be reduced to have between 25-30 learners in order to attain social distancing and that the government should attach healthcare personnel to cluster of schools for regular monitoring; this is if schools must be reopened soon.

The committee will now retreat to write their report which will be submitted to president Uhuru Kenyatta before being made public next week; end of May.

The country will be waiting with bated breadth ahead of release of the report.

Form one admission 2021 (How to get your selection results through SMS)

Leave a comment

2021 form one selection results can be received through the Ministry of Education SMS code 22263. This is the fastest way that 2020 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) candidates can use to know their form one placement results. These results are always available once the selection process is completed.

HOW TO SEND AN SMS TO RECEIVE 2021 FORM ONE SELECTION RESULTS.

It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education to place all the 2020 KCPE candidates to their secondary school of choice. The Ministry places the students to all public National, Extra County, County and Sub County schools.

Placement of the KCPE 2020 candidates is done based on criteria set by the Ministry of Education. Top on the list of factors that the Ministry considers is the candidate’s performance (total marks) in the KCPE 2020 examinations. Students with the highest scores (Over 400) are always placed at National Schools.

The vice versa is versa is true as students with lowest scores are placed in Sub County schools.

Another criteria that is considered is affirmative action; where the cut off marks for form one selection is lowered considerably for vulnerable groups of students.

The general performance at the KCPE examinations is also a key determinant in determining the cut-off points for the various categories of schools.

Last, but not least, the form one admissions is pegged on the specific schools’ Form one capacities. This is the maximum number of form one students that a school can accommodate; based on the available space and physical facilities. Schools can request for change of 2021 form one placements (Adjustment of school’s form one capacity).

Where the capacity of a school has improved due to development of additional facilities in the year, a principal must request for placement of additional students and approval in NEMIS.

After the application, the Ministry reviews and adjusts the school’s form one capacity; usually by allowing the school to admit more form one students.

SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING 2021 FORM ONE SELECTION RESULTS.

Follow the steps below to easily get your 2021 form one selection results through SMS;

  • Go to SMS (Messages) in your phone and create a new SMS. Enter the recipient number (where to send the sms to) as 22263.
  • Enter your KCPE 2020 index number in full (11 digits); see screenshot below.
  • Once you are satisfied that the index number and recipient details are correct, just send the SMS.
  • Please remember that this is a premium service and you will pay Sh25 per an SMS.
  • In case the SMS from the Ministry of Education delays, kindly be a little bit patient before sending the SMS again. This is because, immediately the placement jresults are announced, there will be many individuals sending same SMSs and this may cause the delays.
  • Finally, only send the placement confirmation SMS once the Ministry of Education formally releases the results to the public.

Next, it is time to download your 2021 form one admission letter online. See the simplified procedure here; How to download 2021 form one admission letters online.

Committee to oversee school reopening strategies constituted

Leave a comment

Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha has today appointed a team to look at safe ways of reopening schools and planning the education calendar. The Committee dubbed ‘Covid-19 national education response committee’ will be tasked with coming up with strategies of restoring normality in the education sector.

“The Ministry has appointed a nine member committee to take charge of the process of exploring the best possible strategies of restoring normalcy in the sub-sector education,” reads a presser by CS Magoha.

Schools were expected to reopen on May 4, 2020 for commencement of the second term, but the April holiday was extended by one month to allow the Ministry plan on how to safely reopen the schools. Term one was terminated prematurely as a result of the covid-19 outbreak in the country.

Related news:

The nine member committee, that kicks off its operations immediately, will be chaired by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development chairperson Dr. Sarah Ruto.

The ministry is grappling with a limited time ahead of this year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, KCSE, and Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, KCPE, examinations.

The Ministry insists the examinations will go on as planned.

While appearing before the Parliamentary Committee on Education last week CS Magoha said it was difficult to state the exact reopening date for schools; saying that the ministry values the safety of learners and other stakeholders.

Teachers’ unions sidelined

Learners are already receiving daily lesson broadcasts as one of the measures put up by the Ministry to try and recover lost time.

“The Ministry has come up with measures to mitigate the effects of Covid-19 in the education sector, including mounting of online learning and the drafting of a master plan to guide the response to covid-19 in the education sector,” adds the CS.

The other members to the committee have been drawn from various departments in the education sector. Stakeholders have also been brought on board. While parent and heads associations have been given slot in the committee, teachers’ unions have received a wide berth. Both the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers, KUPPET, and the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) will be observing from the sidelines.

KNUT Secretary General Wilson Sossion.

KNUT secretary general, Hon. Wilson Sossion, is rooting for phased reopening of schools; with candidates (class 8 and form four candidates) to be given first priority.
