All candidates who scored 400 marks and above have been placed in either national or extra county schools of their liking, Machogu says.
A record 1,415,315 candidates sat the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education examination this year.
The chairman pointed out that the Form One Selection criteria favoured students from public schools, and subsequently disadvantaged those in private schools.
The placement to secondary school is computerised, and learners are placed based on factors such as their performance and capacity of the schools.
Candidates had only six months to prepare for the tests following the disruption on the academic calendar caused by the pandemic.
