• Results are a significant improvement from the 2021 KCPE’S top student.
• In order to get their results candidates should send their index number, followed by the initials KCPE (in capital letters) to 20076 in order to access the results.
Two candidates have tied at position one in the 2022 KCPE, Otieno Lewis Glen and Fwaro Makokha Robinson both took the lead with 431 marks.
The results are a significant improvement from the 2021 KCPE’S top student results who garnered 428 marks.
Makokha is from Christ the King Primary School in Bungoma while Glen is from St Peter’s Mumias Boys.
The duo leads a total of 1,233,850 candidates who sat for the examinations in 28,408 centers across the country.
Of these candidates, 620,965 (50.32%) were boys while 612,887 (49.67%) were girls. This, Machogu said is a “clear indication that the nation has achieved gender parity at the primary school level.”
Candidates who scored 400-400 marks were 9,443 (0.77%), 300-399 were 307,756 (24.94%), 200-299 were 619,593 (50.22%), 100-199 were 296,336 (24.2%) and those who scored 1-99 marks were 724 (0.06%).
The results were earlier released today by education CS Ezekiel Machogu who said that 252 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education candidates who were involved in examinations malpractices will still receive their results.
According to the CS, this has been done in order to achieve full transition to secondary school.
“The candidates will receive their results and will transition to secondary school. This is in the spirit of 100 per cent transition,” he said.
However, CS Machogu added that the candidates were not awarded any marks in the subjects they engaged in malpractices.
“Overall, there were 252 candidates in 9 examination centers who were found to have engaged in malpractices. These candidates have been scored zero in subjects where they engaged in malpractices. None the less the affected student’s overall marks will be computed less the mark awarded in the affected subject.”
CS Machogu further noted that the government commends the class of 2022 for registering a commendable performance and bearing a spirited academic campaign that defied the “triple-challenge” which was occasioned by a general election, COVID-19 and a disrupted school calendar.
In order to get their results candidates should send their index number, followed by the initials KCPE (in capital letters) to 20076 in order to access the results.
