KCSE 2024 results to be announced today Thursday 9th January, 2025

The 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examination results for 965,501 candidates will be released today. The Cabinet Secretary for Education Julius Migosi Ogamba and the Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) officials have already briefed President William Ruto as it is the norm.

The Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) met on Tuesday and later briefed Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba.

The two meetings paved the way for release of Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) results for grade six learners.

The new system whereby each examination paper was customised for each candidate, with their name, index number and school pre-printed on it has been cited as one of the reasons why the delay has been experienced.

“This is the second year we are releasing results at the beginning of the year because… you know the problem with all of us is that when we release results in December, we are accused of rushing. So, we decided to take time to address all issues and ensure the smooth release of results,” Basic Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang said.

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba said that the 965,501 2024 KCSE candidates could know their results by Tuesday, January 7, 2025.

“Traditionally, the KCSE exams were released in January and we are keeping to that tradition and we will be releasing them within the next two weeks,” Ogamba had said in Kisii.

The delay to release the results come at a time the nation is facing challenges for smooth implementation of CBC.
