Education Cabinet Secretary, George Magoha, congratulated seven schools after they registered the most improvement in the 2021 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations.
The improvement was measured against the mean Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) performance of the candidates.
Here is a list of the schools per region:
1. Arabuko Forest High School - Coast
2. Graceland Boys Senior School - Central
3. Mama Malia Academy School - Eastern
4. Uhuru Secondary School - Nairobi
5. Lemek Namunyak Girls Secondary School - Rift Valley
6. Goibei Girls High School - Western
7. Sigoti Complex Girls Secondary School - Nyanza
There were 1,138 (0.14%) candidates who obtained an overall Grade A in the 2021 KCSE Examination compared to 893 (0.12%) candidates in 2020.
The number of candidates with minimum university entry qualification of Grade C+ and above stood at 145,145 (17.49%).
The percentage of candidates with mean Grade of C+ and above declined from 19.03 in 2020 to 17.49 this year.
The number of candidates with a minimum TVET Diploma courses qualification of grade C- and above in 2021 was 325,896 (39.27%).
"We therefore need to invest more in TVET institutions where the bulk of our 31 KCSE Examination graduands will study," CS Magoh stated.
