Selection procedure of Form One admission
The following steps are followed for the computerized selection
of form one are:
- The
selected students who have managed to secure the 1st & 2nd places (for
categories of both boys and girls) can get into the national school of
their own choices, i.e. if an allocation has already been provided for
their Districts.
- In the
absence, the computer assigns such performing candidates schools of
equivalent stature to their choices;
- Selection
of the other National Schools Quota based on the ratio of candidates from
Private and public; County Schools purely selects students within a
County, all boarding schools fall under this category; The system gives an
advantage to Counties inclusive of host County in filling vacancies which
may arise during the selection (such as the inability of certain Districts
to produce candidates with more or equal to 280 marks);
- District
Selection: still done manually due to challenges of mapping primary
schools or communities to the proximity of secondary day schools.
- Selection
of Extra-County Schools which have the same features as National Schools with
the variance being the number of candidates to be picked being more within
the host Counties of the schools.
