Cabinet Secretary Announces Historic Release of 2024 KCSE Results Amid Major Education Reforms

In a landmark press briefing at New Mitihani House, South C, Nairobi, Julius Migos Ogamba, EBS, the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Education, unveiled the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results. Speaking before key education stakeholders, including Principal Secretary Dr. Belio Kipsang, Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) Chairperson Prof. Julius Nyabundi, and Teachers Service Commission Chair Mr. Jamleck Muturi, the CS highlighted the transformative changes underway in the education sector.

For the first time in over three decades, the secondary school system faces a massive overhaul, heralded by the phased implementation of Competency-Based Education (CBE). This shift marks the exit of the last cohort of traditional KCSE candidates in 2024 and the absence of a Form One intake in 2025, leading to a leaner Senior School structure comprising Form Two to Form Four. The CS emphasized the need for urgent preparations to support the inaugural cohort of CBE learners, currently in Grade 9, as they transition to Grade 10 by 2026.

The 2024 KCSE results symbolize the beginning of the end for an examination system that has shaped Kenya’s education landscape for 35 years, with the final KCSE exams slated for 2027. The CS commended multi-agency collaboration, which ensured the seamless administration of this year’s examinations, thanking all education stakeholders for their dedication and commitment to excellence.

As Kenya embarks on this journey of educational transformation, the Ministry pledged to prioritize readiness for the incoming CBC pioneers while ensuring a smooth transition for students, teachers, and institutions nationwide.

Green Gold Rush: UK-Funded Forum Links African Innovators with Investors to Build a Cleaner Future.

Nairobi, Kenya, By George Mutua. The air in Nairobi was thick with more than just the usual buzz of a city on the move today. Inside a conference hall, it crackled with the electricity of ambition and the smell of a greener future. More than 150 of Africa’s brightest green manufacturing entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders gathered for the Pan-African Green Business Building (GBB) Forum , a high-stakes meeting designed to turn climate-positive ideas into booming, job-creating businesses. Funded by the UK government through its flagship Manufacturing Africa programme, the one-day event was a vibrant marketplace of innovation. Its mission was simple but audacious: to connect the capital with the continent's most promising green startups, unlocking what research suggests could be a $2-4 billion a year market by 2030, and creating over 200,000 jobs in the process. Nairobi was the natural home for this gathering. Fresh off its crown as the continent's top destination f...

KPC Foundation and eKitabu Forge a New Blueprint to Rescue Kenya’s Isolated Creatives.

Rachel Gathoni, the Kenya Pipeline Company Managing Trustee and Foundation Manager Ngecha, Kiambu, Kenya, by George Mutua . In the shadow of a bustling Nairobi that often races past its art, a quiet but determined revolution is taking root. At the Mlango Farm artistic community in Ngecha, a serene landscape of sustainable agriculture and deep creative history, the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Foundation has launched the Sanaa initiative. This is not merely another corporate social responsibility event. Instead, it is a deliberate, structured attempt to diagnose and treat the chronic isolation and market fragmentation that have long plagued Kenya's writers, visual artists, and musicians. For one day, over fifty creatives, ranging from Gen Z digital poets to veteran painters who have been wielding brushes for forty years, sat elbow-to-elbow with corporate leaders. Their mission was brutally simple yet historically elusive: to stop creating alone and start ...
