Education Cabinet Secretary, Ezekiel Machogu, released the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results for the 2022 academic year on Wednesday, December 21.
He announced that the exams were carried out under the highest academic standards.
The 2022 KCPE involved 28,408 center managers, 28,727 supervisors, 74,990 invigilators, 5,647 examiners and over 1.2 million candidates.
Amidst all the excitement, parents, guardians, and other interested Kenyans can access the results through the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) website, SMS platforms, the county education offices, and their respective schools.
The former two options are timely compared to the latter two which will take more time.
To check the results via SMS, students and their parents are asked to send the candidate's index number followed by the initials KCPE (in capital letters) to 20076. Ensure there are no spaces between the index number and the initials KCPE.
Note that the system will be accessible on the official release date.
This service is available for all mobile networks where you will be charged Ksh25 per SMS.
Since over one million students will be accessing the platform, it may experience some delays.
On the other hand, through the online portal, with a few simple steps, you will have the results at your fingertips.
First access the KNEC portal and proceed to the KNEC tab, select the year the candidate set for the national exams.
Enter the index number then click submit and the results will appear.
Note that you need internet connectivity to access the portal. Also, with the portal, the results can be printed.
