The Ministry of Education says it has received 177,000 requests from parents and learners seeking revisions to Grade 10 placements, just two days after the review process was opened.
Addressing the media on Wednesday, Basic Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok said more than 30,000 of the applications had already been processed.
He urged parents and learners to utilise the review window to make any necessary changes to senior school selections.
The PS explained that placement reviews for Category One (C1) schools are being handled centrally at the ministry headquarters in Nairobi, while requests involving schools up to Cluster Four (C4) have been decentralised to line officers across the country to enhance efficiency and speed up processing.
Bitok also acknowledged that the system experienced temporary digital disruptions early Tuesday but assured the public that services had since been fully restored at the Konza data centre.
He further called for patience from parents and learners, noting that the seven-day review period officially began on Tuesday and that all applications would be addressed within the stipulated timeframe.
