The other papers will be marked by the new optical mark recognition (OMR) marking machine acquired by Knec. These machines enable the Council to mark and release results in record time. Knec acting Chief Executive Officer Mercy Karogo had said the coordination and processing of KCPE Insha and Composition will take place between November 1 and 20. Last year the results were released on 19th of December. Marking of this year’s exams is expected to be complete by Friday.

Education Cabinet Secretary Professor George Magoha had hinted that the results will be made available; immediately after marking and processing. “These particular results will be released long before Christmas. Why do we have to keep them when they are ready? We prepare that before they go for Christmas, the children will know the schools they will be going to so that the parents can start preparing early,” Prof Magoha said at the last day of this year’s KCPE exams. This means, the 2019 KCPE results will be available before end of November.
