Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba releases 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KSCE).
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba on Thursday, January 9, released the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KSCE) exam results at the Mitihani House in Nairobi.
CS Ogamba revealed that a total of 962,512 sat for the nationwide examination that concluded on November 22, 2024.
According to KNEC CEO David Njegere this number was a 7.19 percent increase, a rare record that was last recorded in 2020.
This number is an increase from 899,453 students who sat for the same examination in 2023.
In his announcement, Ogamba announced that 17 subjects, including Maths, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry, recorded improvements while 10 subjects, including English and Home Science, recorded drops in performance.
He further noted that a total of 246,391 scored direct entry to university grades of above C+ compared to 201,133 in 2023.
He, however, confirmed that results for 2,829 candidates were withheld pending completion of investigations over malpractices. 91 teachers are facing disciplinary action over malpractices.
While releasing the exams, Ogamba noted that for the first time, the Ministry will introduce mid-year tests for individuals wishing to repeat KCSE exams.
“Starting this year and following extensive stakeholder consultation, I wish to announce that KNEC will introduce a mid-year series of the KCSE examination. It will target candidates wishing to repeat the examination,” he stated.
On the other hand, Njegere noted that the 2024 exercise did not report earlier exposure to the examination papers due to new technology stating, “This year, we did not have a single case of early exposure to the examination materials.”
