KNEC Dismisses Claims Nyambaria High School Topped 2023 KCSE
On Monday, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) rejected allegations that Nyambaria High School had achieved the highest position in the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams.
KNEC raised concerns about a post stating that the educational institution located in Nyamira County attained an A-grade mean.
As per a widely circulated social media post, the school achieved an average grade of A plain across all subjects. Kenyans shared the post expressing astonishment at the remarkable performance, particularly given the institution’s consistent success in the previous year’s examinations.
Nyamira County Senator Okong’o Omogeni also extended congratulations to the school for what was purported to be an outstanding performance, as the results were disclosed.
Nyambaria High School gained attention during the exams due to reported misconduct. In November, students expelled exam supervisors, citing excessive and invasive search procedures.
Principal Charles Onyari faced suspension due to purported involvement in exam irregularities.
