Uproar Over Massive failure in 2016 KCSE Results!
Education CS Dr Fred Matiang'i is facing a major backlash over the Results of KCSE Released on 29th December 2016. KNUT says there were glaring anomalies that Matiang'i ignored.
Only
141 students managed grade A across the country, with just slightly
above 88,000 students making it to university. Over 300,000 students
scored between grad D and E. This has brought trouble to Matiang'i. This
is the first time Candidates have had such massive failure at the
secondary school level since 1963.
