Selected national schools today, Thursday, began the process of admitting day scholars.

Kenya High School, Starehe Boys Centre, Moi Forces Academy, Nairobi School, Lenana School, Pangani Girls High School and Moi Girls Secondary School Nairobi, are among the National Secondary schools selected to open up day school wings.

The program for admission of students is expected to run until Monday.

 This is after a directive from the Ministry of Education to cater for a large number of enrollment for form one students in 2018.

A total of 993,718 candidates who sat for their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education are expected to join Form One.

This figure translates to about 25 percent increase from the students that were admitted to secondary schools in 2017.

Other schools listed for day school enrolment are Ngara Girls Secondary School, Buruburu Girls High School, Embakasi Girls, Arya Parklands, Nembu Girls High School, Dagoretti High School, Lang’ata Secondary School, Upper Hill, St George’s Girls, State House Girls, Hospital Hill and Ofafa Jericho.
