The Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) also said in a
statement Wednesday that letters would be sent to candidates whose
results are withheld.
However, schools will not be ranked this year according to their
performance following a recent ban by Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob
Kaimenyi.
Until last year, schools were ranked according to the counties and
the names of the top 10 and bottom 10 primary schools were published.
Prof Kaimenyi will release the results at Mitihani House, off Dennis Pritt Road in Nairobi.
In a statement, the newly appointed Knec CEO, Dr Joseph Kivilu, said
candidates would also access their results by sending their index number
to 22252 immediately after the results are released.
“Upon receipt of the results, thoroughly scrutinize the results for
correctness and ensure the accuracy of names, index number and gender,
school code and the individual subjects,” reads the statement from Knec.
Knec has given candidates a window period of one month to lodge their
complaints on any discrepancies noted in the examination results.
In 2013, the exam results of 1,576 candidates were cancelled because of irregularities.
This year’s exams were conducted between November 12 and 14.
