Dokora says there are still 3 000 vacant Form 1 boarding places

Speaking in Parliament yesterday, Primary and Secondary Education minister Lazarus Dokora said there are 3 000 Form One boarding places still vacant  and that his ministry will issue a Press release to highlight schools that have vacancies.

Said Dokora:

So far 63% of those that have access to places at boarding schools have gone through the online platform, and we will issue a Press release to highlight schools that have vacancies. About 3 000 applications for boarding school places are still vacant and the schools that still have places are the ones that you see when you go online.

He assured Parliament that all the 329 549 pupils who sat for the Grade Seven examinations last year would secure places for Form One.
