These efforts have led to improved school performance nationwide, with more girls enrolling and completing secondary education.
Quote from the President:
“We are glad that our education system keeps improving as we enrich the curriculum, hire more teachers and equip our schools with more learning materials and facilities. Consequently, performance is improving in schools all over the country.”
Marking for the KCSE exams concluded on December 13, 2024. Examiners worked across 35 marking centres countrywide to complete the process efficiently.
Additionally, the release follows the earlier publication of Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) results. Grade 6 pupils who completed the KPSEA exams will transition to Grade 7 at their current schools.
