Was it a slip of tongue? the question every Kenyan had been asking since Sunday after President Uhuru Kenyatta hinted that KCPE results would be released this week.
During a church service on Sunday, Kenyatta mentioned that KCPE exams had already been marked.
He went ahead and assured that all candidates who sat for their KCPE exams would receive admission letters to secondary school before Christmas.
“We know that you did your best. Do not worry even if you get a poor grade because we are going to ensure that you all get a chance to join Form One,” President Kenyatta stated.
“And according to our (government’s) plans, we want all the candidates, before Christmas holiday, to have received their respective letters [of] admission,” he added.
This year 1,060,703 sat the KCPE exam and a total of 2,481 were candidates were candidates with special needs.
Among them, 531,548 were boys while the rest were girls. There were 27,161 exam centres.
President Kenyatta asked parents to ensure that all candidates were admitted to Form One, adding that even if they did not get grades that would earn them admission to universities, they would join technical and vocational education and training colleges for skills-based training.
It’s normal that pupils will be looking for information when, where and what time the results would be released to ease the anxiety.
