The listing however shows great disparities in ranking as some institutions with less than 50 students who sat in the examinations topped the list as some recorded up to 290 students for the same exams.
According to the Standard, officials at KNEC who spoke to the newspaper said they wanted ranking reintroduced and implemented but in a better way.
This was after Education CS Fred Matiang’I said that the issue was being looked into, noting that ranking is a matter of ‘great national interest’.
Former Education Secretary Enos Oyaya noted that the previous methods of ranking had loopholes that could be sealed to restore credibility to the exercise.
“The candidate’s entry behavior, number of students per school, co-curriculum activities and special interest candidates must form the basis of ranking,”said Oyaya as quoted in the Standard.
He also added that there was unfair competition between schools that admitted students who scored 400 marks and above in KCPE and those who the schools that admit those who scored less, yet only one merit list of top 100 schools was produced.
National education officials felt that should the ranking be introduced, then only 40% of the meriting should be based on examinations and the rest based on all aspects of schooling.
