As of Thursday, the last KCPE exams administered under the 8-4-4 system will no longer be administered. CS Machogu announced the results of the 2023 exam. 8,523 out of the 1.4 million pupils who took the test received more than 400 marks.
Parents were reassured by the CS that the government will implement the 100% transition strategy, which would include holding special exams in January 2024 for applicants who were unable to appear for their exams this year.
