End of 8.4.4
After 39 years, the 8-44 system of education, once perceived as the solution for Kenya’s skills needs by employers, was interred.
Consequently, none of the 1,406,557 candidates who sat the last Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) will have a chance to repeat, even if they want to better their grades.
Ironically the eulogy for the system was read by CS Machogu, who presided over the burial of a system in which he was once a key player.
According to the Kenya National Examination Council CEO David Njengere, a total of 26 million people have sat the KCPE examinations.
This system of education has not only served Kenyans but also a total of 105,000 non-citizens, including South Sundanese residents of Kaunda region who were certified after sitting KCPE between 2005 -2008.
