Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha said that most people expected this year’s candidates to perform poorly because of the pandemic that started early last year (2020) but that wasn’t the case.
“Many doomsayers predicted that candidates of the 2020 KCPE Examination will perform dismally. The good news, however, is that performance of candidates in the 2020 KCPE is commendable and has shown no remarkable difference from the performance of the past years,” said the Education CS Magoha.
