The government has announced that the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination result slips are now ready for collection. Candidates are directed to visit their respective schools to obtain their results.

• The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) confirmed the dispatch of result slips to all Sub-County Directors of Education (SCDE) offices.
• Schools are advised to coordinate with their local SCDE offices for prompt collection.
• The announcement was made on Saturday.

The Ministry of Education announced that the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) will introduce electronic certificates (e-certificates) and an online verification service for national examinations and assessment certificates. This initiative, backdated to 2023, aims to modernize examination administration and enhance credential authenticity.

• The e-certificate system will be piloted by the end of February, initially targeting candidates from 2023 onwards.
• Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba stated that the new system is designed to align with global digital transformation standards, offering a secure, efficient, and environmentally sustainable solution.
• While e-certificates will be introduced, KNEC clarified that physical certificates will still be required and the piloting phase does not mean full replacement of paper copies.

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has addressed concerns regarding delayed payments for professionals who administered and marked the 2025 national examinations and assessments. The Ministry attributes the delay to budgetary and cash flow constraints, impacting supervisors, invigilators, security personnel, and examiners.

• Discussions with the National Treasury are ongoing to expedite the release of funds.
• The affected professionals rendered services for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA), and Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) exams.
• Concerns also include unsettled arrears from previous years and inadequate payment rates compared to workload.
