Nearly a month after some 1.3 million candidates sat for their KCPE exams, the Form One selection process will be completed by Tuesday, January 17.

According to Education CS Ezekiel Machogu, the selection process was done using a computer-generated placement system.

The CS explained that the system is based on performance, choice and capacity of a particular institution. 

The ministry will also use affirmative action to place learners in national schools, where all top five candidates of either gender from every sub-county are placed in top schools based on their choices.

In this article, WoK has provided a step-by-step guide on how to check Form One selection via SMS and online.
