  • Kabianga High, Nanyuki High and Pangani High are the three most sought-after secondary schools

The competitive nature of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination under the 8:4:4 system has come to an end with the release of the 2023 results. 

This paves way for the Competence Based Curriculum that will replace a system Kenyans have known for 38 years. 

According to data placement data, only 3.1 per cent of the 3.1 percent of the 1.2 million candidates will join the national school. 61 percent will join sub county schools.
