The Alliance High School student got 86.76 points

Brian Maina of Alliance High School, KCSE’s top male student who emerged position three nationwide with 86.757 points, on Wednesday said he would love to be a Software Engineer.

On the same note, girls schools dominated the list of the best performing schools.

Gideon Maina, the father who spoke shortly after Education CS Dr Fed Matiangi released the results praised his son for the exemplary performance in what seems a female dominated results. Mr Maina is the Vice Chancellor of Pioneer International University.

Karimi is one of the 7 girls who made it to the top ten list.

Speaking to KTN News, the top student stated that she looked forward to pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering, with the University of Nairobi being her top choice.
