Selection of the KCPE candidates follows set criteria. This is to ensure that there is transparency and fairness during the selection exercise. Each school category has its own selection criteria. See the details below so as to be familiar with the form one selection process.
Selection of KCPE Candidates to National Schools
National schools are the most prestigious schools in the country. Competition for form one places at these schools is very stiff.
