Grade 10 Selection Extended Again as MoE Issues School Login Passwords
Grade 10 Selection Extended Again as MoE Issues School Login Passwords, The Ministry of Education has officially extended the Grade 10 selection exercise after widespread system glitches prevented schools from completing the selection process by the initial June 30 deadline.
To address the issue, the Ministry generated and distributed login credentials to schools. Each school is now required to log into the selection portal using their KNEC centre code as the username and the provided password.
Despite the deadline being pushed to 15th July 2025, many schools are still unable to finalize submissions due to persistent system inefficiencies. As a result, the Ministry has confirmed that the deadline will be extended once more.
