Thousands of candidates who sat the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations can now collect their official result slips following confirmation from the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) that the documents have been finalised and dispatched.
In a communication issued on Saturday, the Council directed candidates to report to the schools where they sat their exams to collect the slips. To ensure smooth distribution, the documents have also been delivered to Sub‑County Directors of Education offices across the country. Schools that registered candidates have been advised to liaise with their respective Sub‑County Directors to pick up the slips promptly and avoid unnecessary delays.
KNEC emphasised that proper coordination at the local level will guarantee learners receive their results in good time, reinforcing accountability in the management of national examinations.

Alongside the KCSE slips, the Council has also released certificates for a wide range of teacher training programmes. These include the Diploma in Early Childhood Teacher Education (DECTE) and Diploma in Primary Teacher Education (DPTE) for the 2022 cohort, as well as upgrading diplomas in both areas for 2023. Certificates for Early Childhood Development Education, ECDE Diploma, Diploma in Teacher Education, Special Needs Education, and Primary Teacher Education for 2025 have also been dispatched.
The Directorate of Adult Education has already collected certificates for the Teacher Certificate in Adult Education (TCAE) 2025 cohort and will oversee their handover to college principals for distribution to graduates. However, certificates for the Diploma in Secondary Teacher Education (DSTE) 2022 group were not included in the current consignment. KNEC said beneficiaries in that category will be notified once their documents are ready.
College principals have been urged to liaise closely with Sub‑County Education Offices to ensure timely collection and issuance of certificates to eligible trainees. The Council stressed that efficiency in handling these documents is critical to maintaining trust in the education system.

Ealier this week, the Ministry of Education, unveiled plans to overhaul how national examination and assessment certificates are issued. Central to the reforms is the rollout of electronic certificates, a move aimed at modernising service delivery, reducing administrative costs, and improving transparency.
The Ministry said the Council will begin with a pilot phase focusing on candidates who completed national exams from 2023 onwards. The trial run, expected before the end of February, will test the system before it is adopted countrywide. Officials noted that the digital transition is part of broader efforts to update examination management and align with modern public service practices.
