Time to make day and sub county schools centers of excellence

The jury is out for the candidates of the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education. By the Kenya National Examinations Council summary, the bulk of top performers hail from the national schools. Some 81.2  per cent of all who scored grade A came from national schools.

On the other extreme, 83.52 per cent of candidates with D and E grades came from sub county schools. In total, more than 40 per cent of all candidates scored grade D and below. While the focus is on the top performers, the media all but forgets the bulk of candidates who score the lower grades.
