Despite President William Ruto being currently on an official government mission in Europe, expectations are high for his return to personally oversee the release of the national exam results. It is customary for the president to receive a briefing on the results before the official public announcement.
Commendably, the KCPE English Composition and Kiswahili Insha marking concluded successfully last week. Dr. David Njengere, KNEC CEO, expressed gratitude to teachers for their pivotal role in guiding the KCPE exam under the 8-4-4 system. Notably, the President is absent due to his participation in a clean energy summit in Berlin, Germany.
In the preceding year, the top-scoring KCPE candidate achieved an impressive 431 marks. Delving into the distribution of candidates across different score ranges, we find:
– Notably, (400 and above) – 9,443 candidates excelled.
– In the 300-399 range, a significant (307,756) candidates fell.
– In the 200-299 range, a substantial (619,593) candidates secured their marks.
– Falling in the 100-199 range, (296,336) candidates contributed.
– Lastly, (724) candidates scored in the 1-99 range.
It is noteworthy that manual marking by examiners was employed for Insha and Composition papers. Contrastingly, Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) technology facilitated the efficient electronic scoring of multiple-choice questions.
With an optimistic outlook on an early completion of KCPE result marking, Dr. Belio Kipsang from Basic Education underscored the importance of prioritizing KCPE results. Come January, when schools reopen, parents can expect to receive Grade 6 KPSEA certificates. Importantly, Grade 6 students will smoothly transition to junior secondary at Grade 7 next year.
