Status of uploads for 2020 KCSE Projects' Milestone 1 and 2 marks

The Kenya National Examinations Council, Knec, has postponed the uploading of the 2020 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) project marks for Group IV subjects. This is as a result of the current shutdown of all learning institutions to curb further spread of the current COVID-19 (CoronaVirus) Pandemic in the Country.
