Machogu discloses when KPSEA results will be released
Although the results of the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) exam have not been released by the government, school heads started the process of admitting children to Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) on Monday.
According to a school head who spoke with Kenyans.co.ke, most schools had already started the process of accepting new JSS students. Despite this, he bemoaned the low enrollment.
The head teacher of the school went on to say that there was no cost to parents when they brought their kids to different schools, noting that the transfer went well.
The teacher explained that all of the students who took the tests were assured of a direct transition while discussing the rationale for JSS’s admission of students without their exam results.
There are no rules associated with the automatic changeover for individuals who completed KPSEA, the speaker said.
“For current students, they simply move to grade seven. For new students, we require an assessment report with the number found on the KNEC portal to verify whether they completed the KPSEA.
In an interview, a mom who had recently enrolled their child in a Nairobi school disclosed that she had to give up thousands of shillings in order for her child to be accepted.

The parent claims that she was forced to pay Ksh 3,500 for a locker, which she mentioned was meant for two students, and Ksh7,000 for parents who wanted to secure individual lockers for their children.
Additionally, in order to pay for the construction of classrooms, newly admitted students were required to pay Ksh12.000.
Form One children and JSS students were supposed to report to school on January 15.
KPSEA results would be issued in two weeks, according to CS Machogu, who released the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results last week.
CS Machogu cautioned school administrators on January 12 not to charge parents due to the expansion of infrastructure to support students entering Grades 7 and 8.
Machogu also urged school heads to ensure learners in grade 7 use the classrooms that were used by their predecessors.
