Anxiety is increasing among parents and students who took the grade nine test because they have not yet been placed in grade ten schools.This worry comes even after the education ministry reassured everyone that the placement process would happen from December 15 to December 19, 2025, without any holdups.According to the Education Ministry, the system for placements is completely digital, but it is very important for families and students who need to be ready to start high school in the second week of January.Anne Ndunge, a guardian from Makueni, mentioned that she has had trouble getting the results even though schools are reopening in just two weeks.”I tried to check the results this morning, but it didn’t work. Now I’m confused about the number we were told to use, 22263. That didn’t work either. When I send it, I get a message that says, ‘dear learner, the information you asked for isn’t available. ‘ Now I’m not sure if we should send someone to get the information. Schools are opening in two weeks. Should we make plans now? ” she asked.
Last Thursday, when the first Kenya Junior School Assessment (KJSEA) results were announced, Education CS Julius Migos said that students would know their school placements and options within a week.”We are going to use a digital system to place these students right away, and we believe that by next week they will know where they are placed and can confirm,” he stated on December 11.Basic Education PS Julius Bitok mentioned that “if any student faces issues or feels they have been assigned to the wrong school or pathway, they will have a chance to change it within two weeks. “Additionally, on Wednesday, PS Bitok assured that the process for placing senior school students is almost finished, giving some hope to worried parents and students.”The placement for grade ten students is happening now, and starting on Friday, December 20, students will find out which schools and paths they have been assigned,” he said.Since Monday, parents and students have been checking their placement results by texting their assessment numbers to the number 22263.However, the response they keep getting is, “dear learner, the placement results for grade 10 senior school are in progress. You will be notified when they are ready to be checked. “But starting late this evening, the reply to the same assessment number sent to the same code has changed.
