Another school has submitted a petition to KNEC urging a thorough review and re-assessment after inconsistencies were reported in the results of their candidates.
Several other schools, including Moi Kabarak, have already appealed the results before the examinations body.
Green Academy in Kisii County, in their submission, said they are deeply disappointed and expressed their grievances in a peaceful demonstration.
According to the protesting parents, there have been instances of inaccuracies in the collation, with some candidates allegedly receiving incorrect marks and being assigned grades for subjects they did not actually sit.
The school head teacher confirmed that they have already submitted a formal petition to KNEC and are currently awaiting a response, hopeful that the examination council will take prompt action to rectify the discrepancies.
The parents in turn emphasized the urgency of the matter, urging KNEC to expedite the review process before the commencement of Form One placements.
The affected parents are anxiously awaiting a resolution from KNEC to ensure a fair and accurate representation of their children’s academic achievements in the recently released KCPE results.
According to KNEC, this year’s highest score was 428 marks, as 8,523 candidates got 400 marks and above compared to last year where 9443 got above 400.
Learners who scored between 300 and 399 represented 24.94 per cent of the total candidature.
Between 100 and 199 marks, there were 383,025 candidates, while those between 1 and 99 marks were 2060 candidates.
9354 candidates failed to sit KCPE 2023.
