In the past years parents used to struggle and overthink in it comes to admission either in high schools or even higher levels of learning. The hustle was real especially when a candidate has failed. The parent was trying to figure out if their children are going to repeat or just create some links to just let them go through the system.
But is not the case anymore. Whether dunderhead, short wire or even clever , no more hustles, they will all be in the next level of their education.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has issued a directive that all candidates will be given a chance to join secondary school, irrespective of their scores.
They will receive admission letters to secondary school before Christmas, he said.
“We know that you did your best. Do not worry even if you get a poor grade because we are going to ensure that you all get a chance join Form One,” Mr Kenyatta said.
He added, “And according to our (government’s) plans, we want all the candidates, before Christmas holiday, to have received their respective letters [of] admission.”
Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination are likely to get their results this week, it has emerged.
This follows an announcement on Sunday by President Uhuru Kenyatta that marking of the papers is complete.
He said very few cases of cheating and other malpractices were witnessed this year.
“I thank the parents, teachers and candidates. We want to congratulate those who made the examinations a success,” Mr Kenyatta said.
The Head of State asked parents to ensure that all candidates are admitted to Form One, adding that even if they do not get grades that will earn them ad-mission to universities, they will join technical and vocational education and training colleges for skills-based training.
