This major decision was arrived at by the Ministry of Education after most schools were reportedly unable to upload data for their 2020 KCSE candidates due to lack of UPIs.

The most affected group consisted of 2020 KCSE repeaters who unfortunately could not trace their UPIs from their former schools.

One principal who sought anonymity said that in their school, they had a total of 85 repeaters and only ten of them had their UPIs.
