KCSE Results To Be Released Today
Results for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) will be announced today by Cabinet Secretary for Education Ezekiel Machogu. There are rumors that Moi Girls in Eldoret will be the location of the exam release. yet no formal communication has yet come from the ministry.The 903,260 applicants who finished their exams in 2023 will find out their destiny in the second week of January 2024, according to Machogu’s December confirmation.
The results of the 2023 KCSE are noteworthy because they coincide with the implementation of a new grading system intended to boost university admissions. If the findings are made public on Monday in Moi Girls, it will be the first time the ministry has done so outside of Nairobi’s Mtihani House.
Under the new grading scheme, mathematics and any language (English, Kiswahili, or National Sign Language) will be required subjects. These days, students must take mathematics and one of the following three languages: English, Kiswahili, or Kenya Sign Language. The remaining five subjects with the highest grades will be used to determine the remaining marks.
The modifications are intended to raise the bar for university admission and are a part of the proposals made by the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms.The five required subjects under the former grading scheme were English, math, Kiswahili, two sciences, and two other topics.
This change is the result of worries that students who excelled in courses outside of the required cluster were not given preference under the prior method. “Some learners are disadvantaged by the current system,” Machogu clarified. “We are doing this to allow learners to explore subjects they are good at.”Under the new funding model, the candidates will also be the second group of students admitted to universities, colleges, and other higher education institutions.
Instead of categories, students will now be grouped into bands and all learners will now be required to share the cost of tuition fees with the government.In the reviewed formula, all students listed in the five bands will get a boom of between Sh40,000 to Sh60,000, graduated based on households.
