KCPE results to be released Tuesday

Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results will be released Tuesday next week, Education Minister Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi has revealed.
This year saw 844,475 candidates sit the exams, a higher number than last year’s 811,930, in more than 24,000 examination centers countrywide.
“The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) wishes to inform parents and guardians, candidates, stakeholders and the general public that the 2013 KCPE examination results will be released on Tuesday 31 December 2013,” said a notice carried in the dailies on Monday.
Prof. Kaimenyi will preside over the release for the first time since his appointment into the Cabinet. The occasion will be held at KNEC’s Mitihani House in Nairobi and will be the first school results under the Jubilee government.
Candidates and their parents and/or guardians will also be able to access results through mobile phones via SMS code 6062.
“The SMS will only be charged upon receipt of the examination results. Therefore, subscribers are advised to send one SMS and wait for the results before sending another one,” requested KNEC.
