Parents Challenge KCPE Results in Court
Parents Challenge KCPE Results in Court. A recent development challenging the validity of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results has surfaced. The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) recently released these results. Moving to the next point, parents from Set Green Hill Academy Mixed Day and Boarding and Junior School in Kisii have initiated legal action, urging the court to halt KNEC’s upcoming form one placement exercise, scheduled to commence tomorrow.
Expressing dissatisfaction with their child’s marked papers, the parents assert that the results have adversely affected their child’s mental well-being. Consequently, in the subsequent argument, they claim that proceeding with the placement exercise would render the 90-day review period impractical.
Moving on to court documents, a noteworthy concern emerges regarding a noticeable difference between this year’s marks and those of previous years at the same school. This raises pertinent questions about the fairness of the 2023 KCPE results.
Importantly, transitioning to the next significant point, both parents and students are vocalizing their discontent with the results announced by Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu on November 23. The critique is directed at KNEC for irregularities in the examination process. Notably, in acknowledgment of these irregularities. KNEC has cited appeals related to errors in results obtained through the Ministry of Education’s short code 40054.
