The Ministry of Education has extended the Grade 10 Senior School transfers deadline. In a statement that was released by Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba, learners will be able to revise their transfer in the extended period that shall run from January 6. The new Senior School transfers deadline shall now be January 9.
The minister made this announcement shortly after the results of the first revision window were announced. In these results, the Ministry of Education received a total of 355,457 applications. Out of these, 211,636 applications were approved while the remaining applications were rejected.
When doing the revision, Grade 10 learners are allowed to list their preferred school of choice plus three additional options they would prefer if they don’t get their top revised choice.
For example, a learner who was initially placed at Nyandarua High School may choose to transfer to Mang’u High School by listing Mang’u High School as their first choice, then listing an additional three options such as Alliance High School, Nyeri High School, and Nanyuki High School.
The review is being guided by an automated system that will match preferences to learners’ performance and the availability of slots in schools.
