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.

Schools receive Sh17.47 Billion from the government

October 5, 2025 Maverick John Leave a comment

The Government is impressed by the high turnout of Form One students who started reporting to their secondary schools on Monday August 2, 2021, Ministry of Education Cabinet Secretary (CS) Prof George Magoha has said.

Prof. Magoha said that at the end of the Form One reporting exercise, all learners from Grade One to Form Four will be back to class for the first time since March 2020, when all schools were closed as part of the Government measures to control the spread of COVID-19.

In a statement to newsrooms Tuesday, the CS said that other than the Form One students, all other learners successfully opened for the First Term of the 2021 academic calendar on July 26, 2021.

“To ensure uninterrupted learning in all our public schools this term, the Government has released a total of Sh17.47 billion as capitation funding to all learners. Of this, Sh2.62 billion is meant for learners in primary schools, while Sh14.85 billion is to support secondary school students,” said Prof. Magoha.

The CS said that with the release of the capitation funds, principals are advised to keep all their learners at their respective schools to ensure no part of class time is lost during the shortened academic calendar, adding that principals should dialogue with parents of learners with fees balances to find practical ways of clearing any arrears.

“More fundamentally, principals must strictly adhere to new Ministry of Education guidelines on school fees that were issued based on the 30-week school calendar. Any additional fees outside of the official guidelines will not be tolerated,” warned Prof. Magoha.

In line with the 100 per cent transition Policy, the CS said that parents and relevant stakeholders must ensure that all Form One students report to their secondary schools given that the government has already released funding to support learning activities for Term One, 2021.

CS Magoha Issues Warning Over School Transition

October 5, 2025 Maverick John Leave a comment

The government has warned parents whose children will not have reported to Form One by Friday that they will be arrested and charged accordingly.

Speaking when he led a multi-sectoral door to door campaign in Kiandutu slums in Thika Tuesday, the CS told the parents to take their children to the nearby day secondary schools, which he said were free.

Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha said national government administrators and the police will mop out all children yet to report to secondary school by then and have their parents arrested for denying them the right to education.

He said there was no reason for children who completed primary education this year to continue staying home when the government pays capitation to secondary day schools.

“75% of all the 10,000 public secondary schools in the country are day schools and we pay for all the school fees in these schools except for uniforms and food. Why must students stay home? If we find out that you are keeping a child who has finished primary school at home by Friday, you will be arrested,” said Prof. Magoha.

At the same time, the CS warned school heads against sending learners from day secondary schools home due to lack of lunch money or school uniform.

He said this will help the country achieve the 100% transition rate from primary to secondary schools, which is currently at 96% nationally.

The CS said the challenge has been in Garissa, Kilifi and Kwale counties, where he said the government has been keen to ensure they don’t lag behind.

Nyanza and Central region lead with an average of 97%, Eastern region is at 86%, Nairobi at 74% while coast is at 83%.

“Our target is to achieve 100% transition by Friday. Education is the only game changer in our society. We have already paid first term capitation for all our students and see no reason for any student to stay home,” said Prof. Magoha.

On the planned strike by lecturers at public universities, the CS said the government was focusing on other pressing issues facing its citizens, warning lecturers against downing their tools.

Lecturers have threatened to down their tools over what they termed as the government’s failure to implement the 2017-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)

“Thank God that you have a job and pay slip. Even If you down your tools, who will listen to you? We are busy working on arresting Covid-19 infections and ensuring that we achieve a 100% transition rate from primary to secondary school,” he said.

2021 form one placement results (How to change school selected to join)

October 5, 2025 Maverick John Leave a comment

The 2021 form one placement results have been announced. The 2020 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) candidates, who may not be pleased with the secondary school they have been selected to join, can now apply for readmission at their preferred schools.

It is important to note that the process of requesting for change of form one placement is done purely online.

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.

Also see; School Term dates/ calendar for 2020 to 2023.

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
