The long-awaited 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results will be officially released today, following a briefing to President William Ruto by Cabinet Secretary for Education, Hon. Julius Migos Ogamba, Principal Secretary Dr. Belio Kipsang, and other senior education officials.
At State House in Nairobi, the President was updated on the performance trends of this year’s candidates, with particular focus on improvements in the education system that have contributed to the results. These include the expansion of the curriculum, the recruitment of more teachers, and the provision of better learning materials and facilities across schools in the country.
Speaking after the briefing, President Ruto expressed satisfaction with the progress Kenya’s education system has made, citing the significant rise in enrollment, especially among girls, and the increased completion rates for secondary education. “We are pleased with the continued improvements in our education system, as this is reflected in the performance of our students. More girls are now completing their schooling, which is a major achievement in our pursuit of an inclusive education system,” said President Ruto.
The President acknowledged the hard work of both students and teachers and emphasized the government’s commitment to continuing reforms that ensure access to quality education for all. He also underscored that the results would not only reflect the academic performance of students but also the collective efforts to create a robust educational environment that supports the growth and development of the nation’s youth.
The results, which are eagerly anticipated by students, parents, and educators, will be released through the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and are expected to be available in schools and online platforms.
This year’s KCSE results come after a series of reforms in the education sector aimed at improving the quality of education and ensuring that all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed. The government’s focus on gender equality in education, increased teacher training, and the provision of modern learning tools have all been central to the positive trends observed in recent years.
