KNEC Set To Release KCSE Certificates This Week As KUCCPS Portal Closes
The Education Cabinet Secretary, Julius Ogomba, has announced that the government will deliver the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificates this week.
Speaking in Kisii on Sunday, April 27, the CS emphasized that principals across the country must ensure that pupils receive their diplomas.
The CS has stated that the certifications will be critical in ensuring that students have access to opportunities after completing their studies.
“Certificates of 2024 KCSE will be out this coming week, so I would like to urge teachers to call students to go for their certificates so that they may be able to have jobs and other things,” he said.
The CS has also encouraged guardians to ensure that students enroll in university before the deadline of April 30, 2025.
According to the CS, enrollment is currently at 72%.
“We are continuing to enroll students who got a C+ and above in the universities, and we set the deadline as April 30,” he stated.
“I would like to encourage students who have not applied to apply within this period.”
In 2024, a total of 962,512 pupils took their KCSE exams, with 246,391 candidates receiving a grade of C+ or higher, qualifying them for university admission.
On the other side, the CS has declared a crackdown on principals who withhold national test certificates from students due to money concerns starting next week.

“The other day, I issued a directive that teachers holding certificates should release them to all the students,” he said.
“I gave a deadline, and the deadline has already passed, so from next week, we will be taking action against teachers who are still withholding the certificates.”
Migos’ remark comes only days after the government’s spokesperson, Isaac Mwaura, stated that principals who unjustly withhold credentials from students will face disciplinary and judicial action.
On Monday, March 17, Ogamba announced the government’s plans to have students obtain their certificates at sub-county education offices rather than their old schools.
