NEW KCSE 2023-2024 GRADING SYSTEM
The 2023 KCSE results carry extra weight, as they coincide with the implementation of a new grading system aimed at boosting university access.
Unveiled in August, the revised structure reduces the number of compulsory subjects used to reach the candidate’s final score from the previous five subjects to only two.
Under the new grading, the two compulsory subjects will be Mathematics and any language (English, Kiswahili, or National Sign Language)
The two compulsory subjects now are Mathematics and a language (English, Kiswahili, or Kenya Sign Language) and the other marks will be derived from any other five best-performing subjects.
The changes are part of recommendations by the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms and aim to increase university entry qualifications.
Under the previous grading system, the five compulsory subjects include (English, Math, Kiswahili, two sciences) and two others.
This shift stems from concerns about the previous system being seen not to favour students whose best subjects didn’t fall within the mandatory cluster.
“The current system is disadvantageous to some learners,” explained Machogu. “We are doing this to allow learners to explore subjects they are good at.”
The candidates will also be the second lot of students to be admitted to institutions of higher learning, universities and colleges under the new funding model.
Instead of categories, students will now be grouped into bands and all learners will now be required to share the cost of tuition fees with the government.
In the reviewed formula, all students listed in the five bands will get a boom of between Sh40,000 to Sh60,000, graduated based on households.
