Kelvin Wanyama, the headteacher at Moi DEB primary school in Bungoma county is a furious and disappointed man after the release of the KCPE 2022 results.
His school registered a poor performance in the just announced exams. He blames the students for an underwhelming performance. He has also accused the Ministry of Education of changing the school’s results.
Mr. Kelvin Wanyama said that his son had done his exams at te school and scored 334 marks out of 500. The highest student managed to score 365 marks.
He has sought the assistance of the Sub County directors to have the matter addressed.
His son’s dream school was Maranda high school, however, with the substandard results his son posted, he now worries his son may not join the school.
“I am also a parent in this school. My son who had selected Maranda for his high school education had gotten 334 marks. I don’t know how to share this news with him,” the tearful headmaster stated.
When the results were released, Mr. Wanyama called for a meeting with the PTA to discuss how they would reveal the marks to the children. He also summoned the Sub County director to give possible solutions to their problem.

“You have seen your children studying and struggling. This is not fair. You cannot compare these pupils with other pupils from other schools,” he continued lamenting.
“We want the sub-county director to come and give us answers,” he declared.
In denial, the headteacher took a step further and filed an appeal to the results that the Ministry of Education returned to the school.
“We want to make an appeal. These are not the results of this school,” he added.
Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu released the results of over 1.2 million KCPE candidates yesterday. The two best pupils scored 431 marks. He assured Kenyan parents that there would be a 100% transition of the students to secondary schools.
“All candidates whose results I am releasing today will be admitted to Form one, under the 100% transition policy,” the CS remarked.
