Kenya University and College Central Placement Services( KUCCPS) has directed all the Secondary School Principals to provide valid and up-to-date contact information of all Form Four candidates.
According to a circular from the Ministry of Education dated August 24, 2022 signed by Dr. Julius Jwan, who is the Principal Secretary in the State Department of Early Learning and Basic Education, this data and support will allow KUCCPS to create a database with contact information for all candidates for easier communication.
As per to part of circular issued by Dr. Jwan , it reads ” KUCCPS intends to develop a database with contact information details of all the candidates. This will facilitate communication to the candidates and their parent and guardians, regarding school and center application, revision and any other relevant information, regarding government sponsorship.”
To be able to expand placement opportunities to all the candidates under the government policy on transition from basic to higher education, the KUCCPS normally requests schools to submit the candidates’ applications for placement to colleges and universities before they sit for their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE).
Under this notification, all the schools are required to create an account where principals apply for students’ placement to universities or colleges. Only the principal can submit the school applications and not individual students.
