KNEC Addresses Discrepancies in 2023 KCPE Results and Ensures Integrity
In response to concerns expressed by a few candidates over inconsistencies in the recently announced 2023 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results, the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has formally responded.
On Saturday, the council confirmed receiving objections in a press release about mistakes found by applicants who accessed their results using the Ministry of Education’s shortcode 40054.
Dr. David Njengere, CEO of KNEC, provided clarification in his statement, saying, “KNEC was notified that certain candidates’ grades and marks in Kiswahili were not aligned with their placement in Kenyan Sign Language. Additionally, there have been instances where the grades in Social Studies, Science, and Religious Education have been improperly truncated, without the customary plus (+) and minus (-) indications.”
