He added that Kenya achieved gender parity at the secondary education level, with 50.09% male and 49.91% female candidates sitting for the 2023 KCSE exams.

The Education CS announced that 1,216 candidates scored A plain with national schools producing the highest number of top achievers.

Machogu said national schools across the country produced 889 straight As.

He also stated that a total of 526,222 candidates scored a mean grade of D+ and above.

Machogu regretted that a large number of candidates 48,174 scored a mean grade of E.

“As Cabinet Secretary, I am also pained by the fact that a large number of candidates 48,174 or 5.33% still ended up scoring a mean grade of E in the year 2023 KCSE examination even after the Ministry used a more flexible system of computing the final overall candidate results,” he said.

“As a country, we must start interrogating data and evidence to enable us to make critical decisions that would ensure we realize our return on investment from all resources that the government puts in the education sector,” Machogu added.
