Candidates selected will be expected to report to school on January 9, 2017.
Matiang’i had earlier stated that candidates would be admitted to public secondary schools based on merit, quotas, equity, affirmative action and candidates’ choices.

Most of the 226,000 candidates who scored below 200 marks may not join secondary schools next year.
