The Ministry of Education yesterday released this year’s Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination results slightly over two weeks after the national test was administered, setting the stage for a scramble for admission to the coveted national secondary schools.
Education secretary Fred Matiang’i said 9,846 candidates scored above 400 marks in this year’s exam, nearly double the 5,143 who hit the mark last year.
