The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education is not the end of the world although many candidates seem to view it as such. In fact, most successful people in life are not those who performed extra ordinarily in school.

This year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) is proof that no matter how low you fall in life you can always get up again and turn things around. While releasing this year’s KCSE results, Education Cabinet Secretary Amb. Amina Mohamed gave a special mention to some of the country’s best improved candidates.

All the five students had failed their Primary school level but now, four years later have proved that failing in KCPE doesn’t mean that one will automatically fail KCSE.

“This year, we have gone a step further to conduct an analysis of how individual candidates have performed in the KCSE relative to their performance in KCPE four years ago,” said CS Amina.

The CS said that the Ministry’s aim is to show the value add to candidates by schools depending on how much they actually improved.

Kyulu Richard is another student who scored 257 marks in KCPE but came out with a B+ in KCSE. The third most improved student was Maingi George Mburu who scored 279 marks but managed an impressive B+.

Wambui James Kamau was the fourth most improved student after scoring 186 marks KCPE but attained a mean grade of B-. The fifth most improved was Cheruiyot Gideon who managed just 209 marks in KCPE but ended up scoring a B.

“This is clear evidence that candidates who may perform poorly in KCPE can perform excellently in KCSE despite low marks they achieved 4 years previously,” said CS Amina.

Amina Mohamed further said that the performance of the five was a clear indication that the Government’s 100 transition policy is brilliant and will give a second chance to candidates who lost out in their KCPE exam as they will be able to realise their full potential.

 

What do you think is the reason some students fail primary school and excel in secondary or vice versa?
