Some 840 candidates have had their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination results cancelled, the highest number since 2016.

In 2023, only four candidates had their results cancelled.

The cancellation of results for the 2024 cohort raises concerns over the return of cheating in national examinations.

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba observed that despite measures to curb cheating, the malpractice remains a persistent challenge, threatening the credibility of the country's education system.
