Official 2025 KCSE results released by Kenya's Ministry of Education show an increase in straight A grades to 1,932 students (0.19% of 993,226 candidates), up from 1,693 (0.18%) in 2024. This follows provisional figures highlighting top national schools like Moi Kabarak.
Building on provisional results where Moi High School Kabarak led with a mean score of 10.59, official statistics released on January 9, 2026, confirm a rise in top performers in the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams.
The ministry credits reforms, stricter monitoring, and improved school environments. National schools continue dominating top grades. The 270,715 candidates achieving C+ or higher—aligning with provisional data—qualify for direct university entry.
Despite challenges, this upward trend underscores progress, though the low percentage of highest achievers highlights areas for further improvement.
