How to change form one placement/ selection 2024 – Change to another school

2024 form one admission letters for National, Extra County, County and Sub county schools; Details on the letters

Parents/ Guardians who are not satisfied with schools where their 2023 KCPE students were placed can now apply for transfers.

These changes will only apply to National Schools, Extra County and County schools. These requests will be subject to availability of spaces in the desired schools.

HOW TO CHANGE A CHILD’S PLACEMENT FOR NATIONAL, EXTRA COUNTY AND COUNTY SCHOOLS.

The procedure used for requesting change of admission for National, Extra County and County Schools is as follows:

The parent or guardian will place a request at the school of interest; where he/ she wants the kid to be transferred to. The school will then shortlist and merit all students in the waiting (request) list and make a decision on those they will like to absorb; depending on the available (unfilled) vacancies.
The school through the National Education Management System, NEMIS –http://nemis.education.go.ke/, shall enter the details of the selected candidates from their waiting list and request the Ministry to capture them in the new school.
Approval to the schools’ requests shall be granted at different levels depending on the Category of the school. Approval for National, Extra County and County schools will be granted by the Ministry’s Head Office, Regional Coordinators and County Directors of Education, respectively.
Once the approval has been granted, the learner will then be moved from the selection list of the first school to the latest (new) school.
The parent/ guardian will then go online and print the admission letter for the new school.

“Change of placement is not reversible and caution must be taken to avoid being placed in schools not desired,” warns the Ministry.

When a school has made a decision to offer a place to a student, the school will proceed to enter the details of the student.

For National and Extra County schools, the same has to be approved while for county, sub county and private, the system accepts automatically.

HOW SCHOOLS CAN REQUEST FOR EXTRA VACANCIES

Where the capacity of a school has improved due to development of additional facilities in the year, a principal must request for placement of additional students and approval in NEMIS.
