See them here: http://www.education.go....esults/searchadmin.aspx

I am concerned that most pupils missed all their choices and were admitted to schools they have probably never heard of! That kills morale and interest in learning.

What is going on in primary schools? Aren't pupils guided on how to chose schools where they are likely to get admission?

By the way; how many choices are allowed and each category?

You see, it's been more than 30 years since I sat for CPE [yes, it didn't have the preceding "K" and a lot of water has gone under that bridge!]

@Mukiha,
I want to believe teachers do their best to place students where they believe they belong but it's the selection criteria which remains a mystery especially in regard to private schools.As for choices,it's 3 national schools,1 extra-provincial school,1 provincial school and one district school as of last year.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Regarding private schools; Is it not strange that while there are very many excellent private primary schools, there aren't any private secondaries worth mentioning?

What is the basis of this preoccupation with primary education among education investors?

the selection dilemma is compounded by parents refusing to send their children to schools (even good public and national ones)in areas perceived to be holding different political leanings to their own for fear of election uncertainities (2012);opting instead to send them to weaker local schools or to the mashambani schools.....

the generation we are raising now has ethnic fears inculcated by political class and reinforced by parents - we have a long long way to go...

There is a boy who scored 437 and was admitted to Kenyatta Mwatate coz its now a national school. He was in a private school. Sad. Problem is MoE upgraded the schools in a rush instead of using a phased approach. They promised 25 million for upgrade, then gave 3.5 million. They should have waited till the facilities are fully upgraded to make them meet standards of national schools.
Lord, thank you!

They are just that - investors - rather than educators.

In terms of knowledge, who do you reckon understands the water cycle better - the kid who has to milk cows in the morning or a kid in riara school?
