Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu unveiled the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results today at Moi Eldoret.
National schools dominated the top spots, securing the highest number of As.
As anticipated, the national schools led with 889 candidates scoring A Plain.
However, an interesting observation was that some of these institutions also registered candidates with grades as low as D- (minus) and below, reflecting a broad range of academic performances.
The traditional SMS service for accessing results has been discontinued. Instead, results are now accessible through the Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS) portal.
Parents and candidates will need to visit the portal, where they can enter KCSE names and index numbers to retrieve the results. This change aims to enhance efficiency and eliminate the challenges experienced during previous result releases.
The new grading system introduced for the 2023 KCSE involves using only two mandatory subjects—Mathematics and one language (English, Kiswahili, or Kenyan Sign Language)—to calculate the mean grade.
Examiners have adopted a more flexible approach, selecting the five best-performed subjects per candidate.
This departure from the previous requirement of five mandatory subjects across three clusters aims to address perceived disparities and offer a fair evaluation of candidates’ performances.
