Olive Wachira and Rawlings Odhiambo Top 2018 KCPE Performers with 453 Marks
Olive Mwea Wachira from Riara School in Nairobi and Rawlings Odhiambo of Kakamega Hills are the top performers in this year's Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations.
The two scored 453 marks each, missing last year’s top KCPE performer Goldalyn Kakuya's score of 455 by two marks.
Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed says 12,273 candidates have scored more than 400 marks, while 228,414 between 301 to 400 marks. 574,927 candidates scored between 201 to 300 marks.
234,573 candidates got between 101 to 200 marks while 2,177 candidates out of the total 1,052,364 candidates who sat for this year's exam got less than 100 marks.
CS Amina says there is an improvement in performance compared to last year, with girls recording better performances than boys in English, Kiswahili and Kenya sign language.
On the other hand, male candidates performed better than females in Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and Religious Studies.
Amina has announced that candidates will get their admission letters before the commencement of Christmas celebrations.
"It is a directive by President Kenyatta that all the candidates break for Christmas while knowing the schools they have been selected to...There will be only one selection, we will do it once and it shall be done well," says CS Amina.

Those who Performed well (in their Localities or Villages) should be Admitted to their nearest National schools (to Keep on Uplifting their Community names/schools). Hii Mambo ya Kusambaza vipawa kwa Shule au Jamii zingine Mali haileti. E.g. From Mashamba Primary to Mashamba National School. Sio from Mashamba Primary to I don't where in Coast or Coast.

Congratulations! This time it appears cheating wasn't rampant as it used to be.
"1,052,364 candidates who sat for this year's exam got less than 100 marks,". Quite saddening indeed, most kids in kenya are quite capable of doing well, need resources and extra teachers. Public schools classes are too congested.
