2017 Top KCPE candidate scores 455 marks


This year's top KCPE candidate scored 455 marks, an improvement from last year's 437.
Headteachers were "phenomenal" where performance was concerned, Education CS Fred Matiang'i said while releasing the results in Nairobi on Tuesday.
"We did not record any irregularities. Every one of our children is getting results with an accuracy rate of 98 per cent," he said. 
"No single case of malpractice was registered and there were no missing marks."
49% girls and 50.19%  boys wrote the tests.
During his address, Matiang'i reported that 9,846 candidates scored 400 marks and above, compared to 5,144 in 2016.  The CS hailed teachers and the government for their input as the number of absent candidates decreased.
According to him, no malpractices were recorded.
“The 2017 KCPE results display a remarked improvement,” stated CS Fred Matiang’i 
"All candidates with more than 400 marks will be placed in national schools without discrimination," he said.
The minister said six special needs candidates scored more than 400 marks and that the best one had 426. The number of those who scored less than 100 marks decreased by 4,000,  from 6,000 last year.
