Nanyuki High School has reclaimed its past glory after being rated highly sought by last year KCPE candidates.
With only 384 vacancies in form one, 154,524 candidates applied for slots in the Laikipia county best secondary school.
The star of the school started to rise four years ago after the change of guard, with the new management giving the national school status that befit it.
The journey to transform the school started when Oliver Munishi was posted to the school.
“ Am happy that Nanyuki high school has highly sought proof we are on track and hope the trend will continue,” said Munishi.
After the education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha released a report on form one selection, thousands of parents expressed dissatisfaction as their children were posted to institutions far away from their places and of lower status as compared to their grades.
Peter Kamau of Murang’a accused the Ministry of Education of playing double standard for sending those with quality marks to bush schools, while those with low grades to the national schools.
“Imagine a candidate with 386 marks sent to Narumoru Boys in Nyeri county while one with 340 marks from Mandera county to study at Mang’u boys.
This is totally unrealistic as something should be done, as others sent to Moyale Girls and Garbattulah Boys in the Eastern region,” said Kamau.
Others sought schools by the KCPE candidates are Kabanga, Pangani, Nyandarua,Alliance, Maseno, Nakuru High, Kapsabet Boys, Butere Girls,Mbooni Girls, Mang’u high and Alliance boys.
