ELDORET: Parents and stakeholders in the private sector have called for fairness in the distribution of Form One slots. They urged the government to ensure candidates who sat KCPE in public and private schools access equal opportunities through fair distribution of places in national, extra county and county schools.

Kenya Private Schools Association Uasin Gishu branch chairman Anthony Ndung’u said private schools performed well in the national examinations and pupils from those institutions should not be discriminated at all.
