\n
Education officials have identified and rectified an error that caused the placement of a Form 1 girl at a boys\u2019 boarding school.<\/p>\n
Gloria Adhiambo Owino, who ranked first in her class at Nyalgunga Primary School in Alego Usonga Sub County, was admitted to Lenana Boy\u2019s High School, confusing both the student and her parents.<\/p>\n
Hours after the media brought attention to her plight, Siaya Sub-County Director of Education Maurice Saka and Deputy County Commissioner Robert Ng\u2019etich rushed to the student\u2019s rescue.<\/p>\n
They transported the candidate and her parents to Ng\u2019iya Girls High School, another national school in Siaya. The school\u2019s headmistress, Hellen Owino, stated that she had officially requested that Gloria be placed at Ng\u2019iya.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have already requested and possibly it will be granted. For national schools, all the placements are done at the ministry head offices in Nairobi,\u201d<\/em> said Owino.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am confident that she will receive an official calling letter from Ng\u2019iya Girls.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nGloria Adhiambo and her parent at Ng\u2019iya Girls High School<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Error Leading to Placement at Lenana<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The 14-year-old, who scored 389 points in KCPE, had expressed a wish to study at Alliance, Kisumu, or Starehe Girls Schools.<\/p>\n
Siaya Sub-County Director of Education Maurice Saka revealed that the error occurred during the registration process.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen she was registered, there was a mistake in the gender. Instead of registering her as female, she was mistakenly registered as male, which led to the confusion. However, we want to assure the candidate and her parents that she will be placed in a national school for which she is qualified,<\/em>\u201d said Saka.<\/p>\n
The family\u2019s biggest challenge now is figuring out how to raise the fees required for the national school.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy daughter is bright and has a promising future, but I don\u2019t have the financial means to keep her in a national school where she will be admitted,\u201d<\/em> said Mr Fredrick Owino, Gloria\u2019s father.<\/p>\n
The student may not have gotten her wish, but she was nonetheless happy about joining Ng\u2019iya.<\/p>\n
\u201cNg\u2019iya is a beautiful school and I am looking forward to learning and fulfilling my dreams here,\u201d<\/em> Adhiambo said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
