Machogu Clarify On University Entry Exam
The Ministry Of Education (MoE) through its CS, Ezekiel Machogu has today 29, April 2023 dispelled allegations that the 2022 KCSE Candidates will sit for an entry exam before being admitted to universities.
The Head of Communications at the ministry of Education, Kennedy Buhere has dismissed such allegations terming them misleading and false.
“False information. This is Fake,” Stated Buhere.
A source that is intimate to the Cabinet Secret also dispelled the same allegation terming them misleading to parents, student and other stakeholders.
Buhere advised parents and students to remain patient and wait for the official communication from the CS and other stakeholders.
“He hasn’t mentioned anything about universities. We are waiting for the taskforce report, which will offer more clarity,” Buhere said.
This matter was shared widely in the social media where it captured the attention of many people with a tweet on Twitter garnering up to 89,000 views.
Kenyans came in handy to give their views and opinions about this move by the Ministry.
Parliamentary Public Investment Committee Statement on Placement
The Parliamentary Public Investment Committee (PIC) on 25, April, 2023 indicated that all the students who qualified for university in 2022 will receive a placement letter once the KUCCPS portal is opened.
The committee made this statement when it met the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) CEO Mercy Wahome.
“More than 170,000 students who are awaiting university placement will be enrolled in public universities that have a capacity of 194,000 slots,” a statement from the committee read in part.
The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) assured all students that it will open its portal soon to allow them submit their applications for placement to various programmes in various universities in September this year.
“We are waiting for a go ahead to open the portal for students,” KUCCPS announced.
Therefore, the above allegations are baseless and should be discarded and wait for clear and official communication from the Ministry Of Education CS Ezekiel Machogu soon after the taskforce report is out.
