The release of the Kenya Certificate of Primary education results has commenced at the Mtihani House.
In attendance is Education CS George Magoha, TSC Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia, PS for Early learning and basic education Dr Julius Jwan, KUPPET Secretary-General Akello Misori, KNUT Secretary General Collins Oyuu among others.
Candidates, their parents, and guardians can access the results through the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) website, SMS platforms, county education offices and their respective schools.
For the SMS option, the candidates should send their index number, followed by the initials KCPE (in capital letters) to 20076 in order to access the results.
The SMS platform is available for all mobile networks and will be charged Sh25 each.
Students are also advised not to have spacing between the index number and the initials KCPE.
Some 1.2 million candidates sat their 2021 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education exams this year.
The tests started on March 7 and were concluded on March 9.
The three-day papers were meant to be sat for in 2021, but that did not happen because the pandemic disrupted the normal school calendar.
This year the council registered 1,225,507 candidates in 28,316 KCPE examination centres as compared to 1,191,752 candidates in 28,467 centres in 2020.
This reflects an increase of 33,755 representing 2.75 per cent.
