President Uhuru Kenyatta has praised sub-county schools for posting exemplary results in the 2019 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations.
Speaking after receiving the results at State House, Nairobi, Uhuru said he is happy with sub-county schools for showing some improvement compared to previous years.
“President Uhuru Kenyatta has commended sub-county schools in the country for posting a remarkable improvement in this year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination,” State House said.
“The president encouraged teachers and parents to support their children and give them hope especially those who join Sub-County day schools saying the institutions are the backbone of the 100 percent transition programme because they absorb over 70 percent of learners,” State House added.
The Head of State divulged that the improvement recorded by sub-county schools, is as a result of measures put in place by his administration, to ensure 100% transition record.
"The president said the improvement is as a result of the enhanced government investment in the education sector and backs efforts to ensure 100 percent transition from primary to secondary school education," he said.
