Hundreds of the 2020 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) candidates are confused after they were placed in secondary schools they did not select.

Some of them complained that they have been placed in day secondary schools outside their counties, which contravenes the government’s directive on placing learners in day schools within a commuting distance.
