The number of candidates who scored 400 marks and above in this year’s Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) dropped 20.36 per cent compared to the previous test, weighed down by lower performance in Mathematics and Science.
Results released by Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu on Wednesday showed 9,443 candidates scored 400 marks in the exam compared with 11,857 in the 2021 KCPE and 8,091 in the 2020 cohort.
