The Ministry of Education has dismissed reports alleging that it has raised the university entry grade for the 2024 KCSE candidates.
The Julius Ogamba-led Ministry on Monday, December 23, flagged the reports as fake even as KCSE candidates await their results.
The reports purported that the Ministry of Education had raised the minimum entry from the current grade of C+ (plus) to B- (minus).
This comes even as the Education CS disclosed that the results of the 2024 KCSE examinations will be released in January 2025.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, December 11, Ogamba , however, did not reveal the exact date maintaining that the marking process was ongoing.

“Right now we are ongoing with the marking and once the results are ready we will be able to release them. I will not be able to give you a particular date because we are in the process of doing the marking. You will get the results,” Ogamba remarked.
A total of 965,501 candidates across 10,754 centres in the country sat for the KCSE examinations this year.
Meanwhile, CS Ogamba previously disclosed that any examination malpractice will be dealt with on an individual level.
The CS noted that his Ministry has put in place measures to curb the crime and that going forward, a whole examination centre will not be affected in case of one exam malpractice case.
Ogamba further maintained that if individuals collaborate to do the crime, they will be followed individually for prosecution.
