Overview
Secondary school education
starts right after primary school education. There are government
schools, private schools and Harambee schools. Government schools are
broadly divided into national schools, provincial schools and district
schools. Students with top tier scores in the KCPE exam, typically go
to national schools.
There are four years in secondary school. Each class year goes
from January to December with month long breaks in April, August and
December. The first year is called Form one followed by form two,
three and four. At the beginning of form 4, students typically
select the Tertiary Education or University courses they would like
to study upon completion of secondary education.
