Education CS Ezekiel Machogu has announced new timeline for the release of the KCSE 2023 exam results.

Machogu has said the much awaited results will be announced in the second week of January, 2024.

The CS on Thursday December 28 said compilation, verification and validation of scores is currently ongoing.

The ministry of Education has been under pressure to release the 2023 KCSE exam results.

The KCSE exam marking started on November 27th and ended on December 13th, 2023.

The marking exercise was initially scheduled to conclude on December 11, 2023, but was extended by two additional days, disrupting the planned release date for the results between December 16th and 22nd.

The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) urged CS Machogu over the weekend to grant examiners more time to compile and award KCSE applicants the grades they deserve.

Aggrey Namisi, National Vice Chairperson KNUT, told the press in Bungoma on Saturday that the KCPE results were hurried, resulting in inaccuracies.

Because of technical difficulties encountered during the transmission of the KCPE results, the KCSE results will not be available via Short Messaging Service (SMS).

The 2023 KCSE results will be available via the Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS) portal.

To obtain the results, parents and candidates will go to the website and enter the KCSE names and index numbers.

A total of 903,260 candidates sat for the 2023 KCSE exam.
