Top KCPE Student Disappointed With Her Placement
A top 2022 KCPE Pupil is a disappointed person after she was called to join Pangani Girls’ High
School, a national public school in Nairobi County.
The girl aged 14 sat her national exams at a primary school in Homa Bay County, scored 409 marks
out of the possible 500 in the 2022 KCPE exam.
The girl, who hailed from Kisii County and has her identity to protect her from possible bullying, says
she only wants to join the Kenya High School.
She said she chose the Kenya High School as her first choice, but failed to secure placement under an
unclear circumstance.
According her parents, a teacher at her primary school allegedly re-arranged the teenager’s order of
secondary school preference.
“My daughter is disappointed. She’s refused to eat and hardly sleeps. She cries often and appears
deep in thought most times. She really wants to join the Kenya High School and walk in the footsteps
of her two elder sisters, who studied at the Alliance Girls’ High School, and are now pursuing degree
courses in medicine,” Side the girl’s Mother.
The girl’s father is now appealing to the Ministry of Education to intervene and help his daughter
secure placement to the Kenya High School.
“Its three days now since the placement results were released, and my daughter is yet to eat any
meaningful meal because of disappointment. I wish someone wipes her tears,” said the girl’s father.
Both the Kenya High School and Pangani Girls’ High School are National School that consistently
register good results in KCSE exams.
