A national school shocked many after producing an astonishing 62 grade D results in the 2021 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examinations.
The results that were released on April 23, 2022 by Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha showed that Chewoyet Boys, a national school in West Pokot County had 62 Ds.
It had 415 candidates. Out of these, the results of three candidates were canceled over malpractices. The school had a mean score of 6.922, a drop from 7.068 in 2020.
It had one A, 24 A-minus, 38B+, 47 B-plain, 58 B-, 64 C, 60 C-minus, 35 D+, 25 D in the 2021 KCSE exams.
“Our performance is not all that bad because the results for other candidates are fairly good,” School Principal Kiminisi Barasa said when he was asked about the shocking performance.
Despite the shock performance, the school has over the years had an admirable list of prominent personalities who schooled there. These include the late Michael Kijana Wamalwa, former vice-president, and his brother, Defense Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa.
