KCPE Results 2021-2022: Nairobi, Garissa and Mandera Counties Likely to Lead in this Year’s KCPE Results. Check out Why
2021-2022 KCPE Results per County and Region
Nairobi County is likely to take the lead in this year’s KCPE Results which are set to be released in less than two weeks if the latest Knec report on the status of preparedness of the 2021 KCPE candidates is anything to go by.
According to the most recent Knec report 2022 on the level of preparedness of 2021-2022 KCPE candidates, Nairobi county’s KCPE candidates seemed to be well prepared to face the national examinations by February.
In the Knec report 18 out of the 47 counties only had recorded mean scores above 50.0, with Nairobi recording the highest mean score at 59.20%, followed by Garissa and Mandera at 56.34 and 55.11% respectively. The lowest mean scores were observed in Turkana (44.34%), Tana River (44.37%), and Samburu (44.51%) Figures from the council also show that 263, 480 candidates performed dismally with under 200 marks out of a possible 500 in 2019; translating to 24% of the 1,083, 456 candidates who sat for the exams that year. More than half of the total candidates scored below the average mark of 250, suggesting that a large number of pupils posted between average and below average performance.
According to an assessment test conducted whose results were released in February 2022, only 50 percent of the 2021-2022 KCPE candidates would have passed if the 2021 KCPE tests were conducted then.
She therefore called upon KCPE candidates and teachers to come up with the necessary interventions to guarantee improved results when the national tests are finally conducted.
Education CS Trashes Knec Report Predicting Mass Failure of KCPE 2021-2022 Candidates
Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha however weighed in strongly dismissing the February report by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) that suggested that candidates are not prepared to sit the forthcoming national examinations. Prof. Magoha castigated the council terming their assessments as inaccurate outright insensitive saying they date 12 weeks back. He dismissed widespread fears of unpreparedness saying candidates are ready to sit their exams. “You would’ve contextualised this report in such a manner that it was done more than 12 weeks ago, since then the learners have been in school and they’re going to be there for another 6 weeks before they have exams. What the hell do you think you’re doing by killing their spirits?” Posed the CS. The report recently released by the council raised concerns over the preparedness of a majority of Class Eight examination candidates whose learning was disrupted by a 9 month-forced break due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Those children are intelligent, and all we should do is give them hope in life to do their exams and see how far they go,” Prof. Magoha however noted. The KNEC report had suggested that 18 out of the 47 counties had mean scores above 50.0, with Nairobi recording the highest mean score at 59.20%, followed by Garissa and Mandera at 56.34 and 55.11% respectively. The lowest mean scores were observed in Turkana (44.34%), Tana River (44.37%), and Samburu (44.51%) Figures from the council also show that 263, 480 candidates performed dismally with under 200 marks out of a possible 500 in 2019; translating to 24% of the 1,083, 456 candidates who sat for the exams that year. More than half of the total candidates scored below the average mark of 250, suggesting that a large number of pupils posted between average and below average performance in 2019.
Kenyans are now waiting anxiously to see what the 2021-2022 KCPE results will look like if the assessment was a true reflection of the 2021 KCPE Candidates’ academic abilities.
