Lugulu Girls’ KCSE Results Withholding: KNEC Responds.
The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has debunked reports circulating on social media that Lugulu Girls’ High School’s KCSE results have been released.
These posts, which emerged on Wednesday, January 15, suggested that the national school had received its results, initially withheld after the KCSE release.
Social media posts claimed the school achieved an impressive mean grade of 10.2265, with all students meeting the university entry cut-off grade. However, KNEC dismissed these claims as false through a statement on their official social media accounts.
Schools Withheld Results
Lugulu Girls is among five schools whose KCSE results remain under review. The other affected institutions include:
| School Name | County |
|---|---|
| St. Peter’s Abwao Secondary School | Migori County |
| Mama Malia Academy | Kitui County |
| Kipsingei Mixed Secondary School | Bomet County |
| Katilu Boys High School | Turkana County |
The withholding of results has left many in a state of uncertainty, particularly at Lugulu Girls, known for its history of academic excellence.
