As predicted and expected, the Form One Selection is taking its usual course. School heads gather in one place and manually undertake the process. This wastes alot of money, resources and man-hours. A computer program can do this task cheaply, fast and efficiently.
The Ministry of Education should fully embrace and exploit computer capability.
It is possible to release candidates marks and the high school selected simultaneously, reducing pupil/parent anxiety.
At least some form of 'No-pupil-left-behind', see my earlier topic, is being practised.

Here are some excerpts from Sunday Nation, January 17th, 2016.
The selection is currently underway in Naivasha.
It is being done by Education officials, national schools principals, their deputies and senior teachers.
Education principal secretary said that in the unlikely event that some candidates are not selected to schools of their choice despite their marks, such candidates will be placed in available slots in schools of comparable strength or category and, as such no candidate will be left out.
