KNEC Dispatches 2024 KCSE Results Printouts to Sub-County offices for Collection.
The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has confirmed that all printouts of the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination results have been distributed to Sub-County Directors of Education (SCDEs) across the country.
In a statement issued on January 16, KNEC directed schools to collect the results from their respective Sub-County offices. The council stated that schools that participated in the examinations should coordinate with their SCDEs to retrieve the documents.
This announcement comes exactly a week after the results were officially released on January 9.
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba announced that 962,512 candidates sat for the 2024 KCSE exams. For the first time since the exam’s inception, more female candidates (482,202) participated than male candidates (480,310).
Key highlights of the results include:
| Category | Number of Candidates | Comparison to 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Candidates scoring grade A | 1,693 | Increased from 1,216 |
| Candidates meeting university entry grade (C+) | 246,391 | Increased from 201,133 |
| Candidates qualifying for TVET/Diploma entry (C-) | 476,889 | 49.41% of all candidates |
Addressing Candidates Who Missed or Failed
For the first time, a mid-year KCSE examination has been introduced. This initiative, following extensive consultations with stakeholders, targets candidates who either failed or missed the exams.
CS Ogamba explained that the mid-year exams aim to provide a second chance for students, including the 2,829 whose results were withheld and the 840 whose entire results were canceled.
The 2024 KCSE also marks a historic achievement with the number of female candidates surpassing their male counterparts. This milestone reflects efforts to promote gender parity in education.

The government continues to emphasize enrollment in technical and vocational institutions.
Nearly half of the candidates (49.41%) achieved the C- grade required for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs, highlighting the growing importance of technical education in Kenya’s development strategy.
Conclusion
Schools have been urged to collect the KCSE results promptly and guide students on the next steps, whether pursuing university education, technical training, or retaking exams through the newly introduced mid-year series. This multi-pronged approach demonstrates the Ministry of Education’s commitment to inclusivity and accessibility in education.
