Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu on Monday January 8, 2024 released the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results at the Moi Girls High School in Eldoret.
This is the first time for the Education Ministry to release KCSE results in Eldoret, after Machogu decentralized the release of results for national examinations.
Machogu released the 2023 KCSE results after briefing President William Ruto at the Eldoret State Lodge.
At the same time, registration for 2024 KCSE and KPSEA 2024 is scheduled to run from January 29 until March 29, Kenya National Examinations Council CEO David Njeng’ere said during the release of 2023 KCSE results.

The 2023 KCSE exams began on October 23 and ended on November 24 with 903,260 candidates sitting for the examinations.
The results were delayed beyond the New Year celebrations, contrary to what had been happening in the past five years.
According to Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), the delay was due to high level verification of the results to avoid confusion and unnecessary errors.
This was after teachers, candidates and parents raised concern after the release of 2023 KCPE results due to numerous errors.
