The Cabinet Secretary for Education Ezekiel Machogu has revealed that the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination results will be out this week.
The National examination was done within three weeks from the 2nd of December 2022 by 884,263 candidates.
The marking of the KCSE examinations is in its final stage having started on the 2nd of January this year across 20 centers most of them being located in Nairobi County.
To ensure that the examination is free of any misconduct, a multi-agency team was tasked with overseeing the examinations.
Learners across the country are set to enjoy a normal calendar with the congested academic calendar over the past two or so years having been done away with. The shortened academic calendar was caused by the government’s closure of all learning institutions following the outbreak of COVID-19.
This was done to curb the spread of the global coronavirus pandemic.

The candidates were hard done by but managed to complete their secondary school education having also undergone disruption occasioned by the August 9 General elections.
