KNEC Chairman George Magoha asked parents to accept their children's results adding that parents were responsible for the many cases of teen pregnancies.
"It is our duty to ensure we spend quality time with our children," the Knec chairman stated.
Prof Magoha also noted that only four cases of cheating were reported in this year's KCPE exam and their results were cancelled.
Exam Irregularities
Notably, over 1 million candidates took the exam and the success of the KCPE results was attributed to tight security.
There were few reported malpractice cases with three exam centres put on the spot over suspicious malpractices and 14 people arrested.
