HOW TO CHANGE FORM ONE PLACEMENT IN 2021

In order to apply for change of form one placement, follow the easy steps below;

The parent or guardian should place a request at the school of interest; where he/ she wants the kid to be transferred to. The school will then shortlist and merit all students in the waiting (request) list and make a decision on those they will like to absorb; depending on the available (unfilled) vacancies.
The school through the National Education Management System, NEMIS -http://nemis.education.go.ke/, shall enter the details of the selected candidates from their waiting list and request the Ministry to capture them in the new school.
Approval to the schools’ requests shall be granted at different levels depending on the Category of the school. Approval for National, Extra County and County schools will be granted by the Ministry’s Head Office, Regional Coordinators and County Directors of Education, respectively.
Once the approval has been granted, the learner will then be moved from the selection list of the first school to the latest (new) school.
The parent/ guardian will then go online and print the admission letter for the new school.

“Change of placement is not reversible and caution must be taken to avoid being placed in schools not desired,” warns the Ministry.

When a school has made a decision to offer a place to a student, the school will proceed to enter the details of the student.

For National and Extra County schools, the same has to be approved while for county, sub county and private, the system accepts automatically.

Please note that the application for change in form one admission is subject to availability of vacancy in the desired school.

HOW SCHOOLS CAN REQUEST FOR EXTRA VACANCIES

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.
