It is another time for joy and disappointment in equal measure as parents, guardians and candidates receive Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination results.
National Assembly majority leader Aden Duale was one of the proud parents following Kenya National Examinations Council’s announcement of the 2015 KCSE results on March 3.
His son, Abdul Razak Aden, performed well in the examinations and he could not resist sharing the results on his social media accounts.
“My son has attained exemplary results in KCSE 2015. I thank the almighty God, his mum, the principal and teachers of Mangu. Congratulations!” he said.
Aden Duale’s son, who sat the exams at Mangu High School, had a mean grade of A- (minus) with 77 points. Razak scored straight As in Mathematics, Biology and History; A- in Business Studies; and B+ in English, Kiswahili and Chemistry.
According to the 2015 KCSE results released by Education Cabinet Fred Matiangi, only 31.52% (165,766) of the candidates attained minimum university entry mean grade of C+ (plus) and above. About 525,802 candidates registered for 2015 KCSE exams; a rise from 485,547 in 2014.
Number of candidates with mean grade of A (plain) dropped from 3,073 in to 2,636 in 2015. 75% (1,976) of the top scorers were male.
The 2015 KCSE candidates lost close to month due to the September teachers’ strike that paralyzed activities in public schools. Knec
declined to adjust the exam timetable to compensate for the lost time.
There were also concerns of
widespread cheating in the examinations.
