The Education Ministry announced on Thursday that the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results are set to be announced in the second week of January 2024.
Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu said the 903,260 students who sat for KCSE examinations in November will know their fate in mid-January as 1.4 million 2023 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination candidates will be joining secondary schools.
“We are done with the marking. What we are currently doing is compiling the marks, verifying them, and validating them. You know it’s quite a process. So that by the end of the day, we release credible results,” said CS Machogu.
Form One students are set to report to their new institutions on January 15, 2024, in accordance with the 2024 education calendar.

Machogu added that 903,260 KCSE candidates will benefit from a new grading system aimed at increasing the number of students joining universities. The new grading structure was unveiled in August.
The Presidential Working Party’s recommended grading scheme for education reforms emphasizes students’ strengths in certain subjects while reducing the number of required subjects.
The two required subjects for the students’ grades are mathematics and any language, such as English, Kiswahili, or National Sign Language.
