Good morning,
The talk of the past few days has been the 2023 KCPE results.
Marking the end of a 38-year era, the outcome of this year’s exam has left a bitter taste in the mouths of thousands of parents, teachers, and learners.
Many complaints have emerged regarding missing marks, awarding of marks in subjects not taken, entire classes scoring similar marks in science and math papers, and dismal performance at schools considered academic giants.
Cases have already been lodged in courts regarding these issues, even as the Form One selection began on Monday.
The discrepancies have largely been blamed on the haste of marking the exams, with many calling for a return to the earlier practice of taking several months to mark and grade papers.
As we await the courts’ decisions on the cases, do you think the KCSE results will face similar issues, and has the Ministry of Education failed in managing exams in the country?
