No Hurry in Releasing Of The KCSE Results.
The Kenya National Union of Teachers, or Knut, has pleaded with Education Commissioner Ezekiel Machogu to extend the time for examiners to gather data and provide candidates for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education with the grades they merit.
Aggrey Namisi, National Vice Chairperson of KNUT, told the media in Bungoma on Saturday that KCPE results were hurried, which is why they had flaws.
Namisi’s comments are made one day after rumors circulated on social media that Friday was the expected publication date for the KCSE results.
“We don’t want to experience what happened during the KCPE examination release, so please, CS Machogu, give the markers time to analyze results well before you release,” Namisi said.
“Permit the examiners to go over the questions, prepare, mark, and provide reliable answers.”
The unionist criticized widespread exam cheating in the nation and urged CS Machogu to put the educational system back on course.
He claims that there was an error in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education grading process, citing instances in which students who did not practice sign language were given marks in the language.
On November 23, the Ministry of Education declared the 1,406,557 KCPE examination results for 2023.
It was observed that certain candidates received marks for courses they had not taken exams for.
The Kenya National Examination Council admitted that incorrect marks were given to 133 applicants.
According to Knec CEO David Njengere, several impacted schools have appealed, expressing disagreement with their findings as received through the 40054 SMS code.
