This year’s KCPE examination results is here with us. It will be either Tuesday or Wednesday before Christmas weekend. According to the source, examiners had completed marking by Friday 16th December 2022. Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) has made work easier. Unlike back in the years, multiple-choice papers is easy. This leaves Insha and Composition for teachers to mark.
Those tasked with results preparations worked late into the weekend to ensure the process went on as expected. After long nights and weekend, kcpe results are ready by Monday. This has been routine where former cabinet secretaries like Magoha and Matiangí followed. Previous years ‘announcements could get people unaware.
The president who has been away for official duties will land anytime into the country. His absence may delay this announcement. He was spotted in Qatar watching the world cup finals. Earlier, he had reported that the hosting for the junior secondary would be domiciled in the primary school in which students sat for exams. This cleared the air of the confusion that had sent parents into panic on the possibility of increased costs of learning.
Candidates waiting for this year’s KCPE examination results are 1.2 million. From this figure, Education CS had hinted that there would be no case of malpractice. Interestingly, with the one hundred transition policy of the government, all candidates will join various secondary schools. In a circular sent to schools in early November, form will report from 30th Jan 2023. This gives parents and guardians sufficient to prepare well.
Additionally, the National Treasury through budget reading had stated 64.4 b for free secondary education. Meaning all students in day schools should study for free. Education got the lion’s share, indicating the government’s commitment to funding free education in the country. However, when President William Rutto took the oath of office, he directed ministries to save the amount that could see some projects slashed.
