Silvanus Sewe: How I got a PhD, started company despite scoring D+ in KCSE

Silvanus Sewe’s career did not end when he failed his Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam, attaining a mean grade of D+.

Sewe’s academic journey began in Sagana where he scored 59 out of 72 points in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE).

He later joined Mwea Boys High School in 1987 but he faced numerous challenges which affected his academic performance. He recalled missing his third term classes while in form two due to fallout with the school principal.
