KCPE Results 2016 - RANKING OF SCHOOLS AND CANDIDATES
As you are aware, Parliament recently passed a law requiring the Ministry of Education to rank schools and candidates when releasing national examinations. Tied to the law was a requirement that a research be conducted and a wide consultation be done and come up with regulations that provide a basis for the ranking. Unfortunately, due to the short period between the time the law was enacted and when the KCPE Examination was administered, the Ministry was not able to prepare for its implementation. Out of this background the Ministry has not provided any ranking for the 2016 KCPE Examination candidates and centres. The Ministry will, however, put in place a watertight mechanism to help implement the law.KCPE Results 2016 - FORM ONE SELECTION
