CS Magoha Issues Warning Over School Transition

January 11, 2026 Hillary Kangwana

The government has warned parents whose children will not have reported to Form One by Friday that they will be arrested and charged accordingly.

Speaking when he led a multi-sectoral door to door campaign in Kiandutu slums in Thika Tuesday, the CS told the parents to take their children to the nearby day secondary schools, which he said were free.

Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha said national government administrators and the police will mop out all children yet to report to secondary school by then and have their parents arrested for denying them the right to education.

He said there was no reason for children who completed primary education this year to continue staying home when the government pays capitation to secondary day schools.

“75% of all the 10,000 public secondary schools in the country are day schools and we pay for all the school fees in these schools except for uniforms and food. Why must students stay home? If we find out that you are keeping a child who has finished primary school at home by Friday, you will be arrested,” said Prof. Magoha.

At the same time, the CS warned school heads against sending learners from day secondary schools home due to lack of lunch money or school uniform.

He said this will help the country achieve the 100% transition rate from primary to secondary schools, which is currently at 96% nationally.

The CS said the challenge has been in Garissa, Kilifi and Kwale counties, where he said the government has been keen to ensure they don’t lag behind.

Nyanza and Central region lead with an average of 97%, Eastern region is at 86%, Nairobi at 74% while coast is at 83%.

“Our target is to achieve 100% transition by Friday. Education is the only game changer in our society. We have already paid first term capitation for all our students and see no reason for any student to stay home,” said Prof. Magoha.

On the planned strike by lecturers at public universities, the CS said the government was focusing on other pressing issues facing its citizens, warning lecturers against downing their tools.

Lecturers have threatened to down their tools over what they termed as the government’s failure to implement the 2017-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)

“Thank God that you have a job and pay slip. Even If you down your tools, who will listen to you? We are busy working on arresting Covid-19 infections and ensuring that we achieve a 100% transition rate from primary to secondary school,” he said.

How to change your 2024 form one placement

January 9, 2026 Hillary Kangwana

The 2024 form one placement results have been announced. The 2023 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) candidates, who may not be pleased with the secondary school they have been selected to join, can now apply for readmission at their preferred schools.

It is important to note that the process of requesting for change of form one placement is done purely online.

HOW TO CHANGE FORM ONE PLACEMENT IN 2024

In order to apply for change of form one placement, follow the easy steps below;

The parent or guardian should 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.

Also see; School Term dates/ calendar for 2024.

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.

Please note that the application for change in form one admission is subject to availability of vacancy in the desired school.

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.
