"I assure Kenyans that this website has been tested and proven and is 100% accurate. It is in operation," CS Machogu said
The CS said the school choices the learners selected were used among other criteria in the placement process.
"Some students were placed in schools of equivalent standing outside their counties. This includes those from counties with inadequate capacity," the CS said.
Thus, a learner may end up in secondary school in another country due to inadequate space.
Further, Machogu gave parents assurance that there will be no fee increment come next year as their children join secondary schools.
“ The government is commitment to providing free day secondary education which includes allocation for tuition and operation expenses. The fees charged in secondary schools will remain unchanged in 2024. Schools will continue to receive funds based on accurate enrolment data,” said Machogu.
