Regarding the timing of the release of the exam results, Ogamba said while results were typically announced in December, this was for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE), which was not conducted this year due to the implementation of the new education curriculum.
“The exams previously released in December were the KCPE results, but this year, we did not have that examination. This may have led to some confusion,” he explained.
He added that his ministry is fully prepared to ensure that Grade 9 students will start school this year without any issues, noting that efforts are being made to ensure that all classrooms are ready on time.
The 2024 KCSE exams officially began on October 22 and ended in November. The exam took place in 10,755 centers, with a record-high 965,501 candidates, an increase from 903,138 in 2023.
