KCPE 2011 candidates and parents can now check the secondary school in which the candidate has been admitted to through SMS.

Simply send an SMS with your full Index number ONLY to 4042.

You will receive an SMS notifying you of the name and the code of the Secondary School you have been admitted to.

**When The Timpata tested this service, the sms reply took almost 20hrs to come through. We hope the speeds have improve over time.

We will update this post with new information as we get it.

<<UPDATE 001>> The Selection of FORM 1 is complete for National and Provincial schools ONLY as at now. As such, if a candidate was not selected in any of these schools, the SMS service will return an error “Index number not found…..”

<<UPDATE 002>>The website with the selection information is http://www.education.go.ke When The Timpata checked this link, it was not going through. We hope the person responsible at the Ministry of Education will note and take necessary steps to correct this.

 

<<UPDATE 003>> Your can now check this information online. Read how to access this here: http://www.thetimpata.com/2012/01/21/form-1-2012-selection-results-online-how-to-check-the-secondary-school-you-have-been-admitted-to-online/

    Thanks, It has taken less than a minute to get the school the child has been selected to unlike by the internet-which i have failed due to slow connection until I requested someone else to do it elsewhere but took long still due to connection of internet before i got the trick of SMS.

    But now, How do I know the direction of the school or the contact address? many schools have similar names.

    Please assist.

    Thanks,
    Wakhanu

    please admin has all selection been completed? because my child i cannot find the school he was admitted to. and is there a website to log in from the computer to see the form one selection? please help us know because sms is teling me that index number does not exist.

    • Admin

      Our suspicion could be that selection to National and (probably) Provincial schools is complete. Meaning, if a candidate did not qualify for any of these, then the system might not provide feedback. However this is just our view as The Timpata. We will try and follow up with the Ministry and operators of the systems on this and let you know.

  • wilfred obote

    My son has been selected to join Mutuini Sec which was not even among his choices. the problem is that there isn’t much information on the school’s website apart from the fact that it is located somewhere in dagoretti and is a divisional school. given your explanation on the selections done so far should i assume that it is a provincial school? their phones listed are not going through so i’m unable to know wherther it is a mixed day or boarding school since i’ve seen ladies listed on their old students.if it is a day school this would be unfair to us since we stay on the eastern side of town.further details on the school would be appreciated.

    • Admin

      @ALL: from update number 1 above, we could reliably confirm that as at 17th January 2012, Selection of students joining any other school other than a National or a Provincial school had not been completed. As such the SMS service was returning an error message. I strongly suggest that immediately you get an error message, do not resend the same not untill the District schools selection is complete.

  • KIrsten

    Its my view that given majority of Kenyans can easily access the internet and that who cannot can raquest their counterparts to do so on their behalf, the KNEC should have pre-set a website way before the admissions began coz this sms method is quite expensive and inefficient for the common mwananchi given the economic status in the country. Kindly address our grievances..

  • james

    thank u for letting us know that as yet district selection not complete but The quetiion is why are u not using the media to educate inocent parents about the current stage as many dont use website they will go on texeting and money paid just to be told ur idex is wrong or is not 9 digits come on mr authour kenyans need the right information always to save our kids from the anguish I am nganga

  • james

    pliz tell when we should start texeting again for districts intake

  • jnganga

    pliz give us adate when we can know where our kids wil go district schools

  • REUBEN MWACHARI

    This mobile enquiry is a waste of money and time (IS SOMEBODY OUT TO MAKE MONEY???). We need a better way to find out the form 1 selections.
