Education Cabinet Secretary (CS) George Magoha, has set the date for the release of the 2021 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE).
Over 500,000 candidates sat for KCSE exams, which concluded on April 1, 2022, across the County.
Speaking at the Kenya High School, Magoha said those who sat for the exams will know their results at the end of the month, indicating that the results will be accompanied by causalities.
“The KCSE results will be released at the end of this month. There will definitely be casualties.....voluntary casualties because nobody forced them to try to steal the exam. There is a price to pay,” he said as quoted by
People Daily.

Under the same breath, he said the 2021 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination candidates will know the secondary schools they have been placed, between Monday and Tuesday next week.
“The selection results could be out either on Monday or Tuesday. I want to go personally and make sure that nobody has corrupted it and that we have protected the weakest link,” said the CS.
He said the selection process was free and fair.
“Kenya is a rainbow country. In a school like this one (Kenya High), I would like to see a Samburu girl here… not a Samburu girl who sat her exam in Nairobi, but somewhere in Maralal. Whether anybody likes it or not, we will do that.”
Over 1.2 million candidates sat for KCPE exams last month. Over 11,850 candidates scored 400 marks and above, and are expected to join national schools all over Kenya.
There are slightly over 100 national schools across the country, with a capacity of 30,000 learners.
