No SMS Code for 2024 KCSE Results

For the second year in a row, KNEC has discontinued the SMS code system for checking KCSE results. This change was initially introduced in 2023 by former Education CS Ezekiel Machogu due to numerous complaints from parents and students about inefficiencies.

Why the SMS System Was Discontinued

“We have engaged engineers to make sure the system works perfectly, unlike the challenges we faced with the SMS code,” CS Machogu explained during last year’s results release.

Measures to Combat Cheating in 2024 KCSE Exams

To safeguard the integrity of the 2024 KCSE exams, KNEC and the Ministry of Education implemented several measures:

  • Personalized examination papers with pre-printed details such as candidates’ names, index numbers, and schools.
  • Establishment of special courts to handle cases of examination malpractice.

Irregularities and Challenges

Despite these measures, reports of irregularities surfaced, including fake exam material leaks and allegations of teacher involvement in cheating. Additionally, invigilators, examination center managers, and markers raised concerns over inadequate pay.

Challenges During the 2024 KCSE Examinations

The 2024 KCSE exams were marked by several challenges, including:

  • Numerous claims of cheating despite robust anti-malpractice measures.
  • Tragic incidents where some students lost their lives due to various causes during the examination period.

Timely Release of KCSE Results

The release of the KCSE results follows the recent announcement of the 2024 KPSEA results, reaffirming the Ministry of Education’s commitment to delivering results for both major national examinations in early January.
