Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>School heads have been asked to prepare for the intake of Form 1 and Grade 7 students in January.<\/p>\n

Education CS George Magoha urged them to liaise with the directors to ensure smooth enrolment.<\/p>\n

Magoha spoke on Monday at Moi Girls Isinya where he commissioned a CBC classroom after which he headed to Nile Road Secondary School, Nairobi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to normalise as we go into double intake otherwise it’s going to be a challenge going forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On the double intake in secondary schools, about 1.6 million learners will be enrolled in Grade 7.<\/p>\n

Another 1.2 million learners will also be enrolled in Form 1.<\/p>\n

Magoha said the two national exams will go on as planned.<\/p>\n

The first cohort of Grade 6 learners will sit Kenya Primary School Education Assessment on November 28.<\/p>\n

Magoha also extended the deadline for the selection of junior secondary schools.<\/p>\n

The initial deadline had been slated for August 30 but was pushed to September 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started late, we have had hiccups in some areas therefore we have decided to extend the school selection timeline,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite the extension of the deadline, several parents are still confused, in terms of selection.<\/p>\n

This has seen some schools direct parents to discuss the choice of schools with their children.<\/p>\n

Once the learner has the list of schools, they are asked to submit it to the class teacher.<\/p>\n

\u201cSubmit a list of schools selected, the teacher will help you conduct the placement process on the KNEC portal,\u201d read a message from a teacher.<\/p>\n

The teachers also want parents to pick schools within their home counties.<\/p>\n

This is to ensure the learners go to day schools and not boarding schools.<\/p>\n

According to a list sent to school heads, Nairobi has the highest number of approved private schools.<\/p>\n

It has 142 schools followed by Kiambu with 114 schools.<\/p>\n

The list gives the number of classes in each school together with the classroom capacity and the number of students.<\/p>\n

Nairobi has 60,359 slots for students in private schools, followed by Kiambu with 22,665 slots.<\/p>\n

Several counties have less than 10 approved schools, which means more students in the selected counties will go to public schools.<\/p>\n

Elgeyo Marakwet, Turkana and Samburu have one school, while Narok and Kericho have two approved schools.<\/p>\n

Magoha said for a school to offer junior secondary, it should have a laboratory for sciences and storage cabinets.<\/p>\n
