Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha has ordered schools in Siaya County and other counties to admit pregnant girls in Form One. Following the discrepancies from Parents, the CS has issued a warning statement to all secondary school heads.


Prof Magoha on Wednesday intensified the search for pupils who sat last year’s Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exam and are yet to join Form 1 in Siaya County.


Prof Magoha directed education officials to ensure two pregnant girls get admission in boarding schools.

The girls were rescued by Siaya County Commissioner Michael ole Tialal. The CS, however, warned students against engaging in pre-marital adult matters.

“We are admitting you to schools you so that you learn, stop engaging in these adult activities that affect your studies,” said the CS.
