Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu is set to release the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results for 2023 on November 23.
The release of the 2023 KCPE results will bring to an end the primary school level of the 8-4-4- system of education as the transition to a fully-fledged CBC system continues.
The 2023 exams had 1.4 million pupils, the last cohort of class 8, sit the exams.
The KCPE pupils will also be the last to be placed in secondary schools based on the results as the CBC will adopt a different, career path placement option for senior schools.
The Ministry of Education has provided several ways to check the results, including via SMS and online.
