Students who miss the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examination (KCSE) or wish to repeat them have an opportunity to retake the examinations after the Ministry of Education introduced mid-year examinations.

The Ministry introduced the mid-year examinations that will be administered every July to cushion students whose results are affected by missing one or more papers due to unavoidable circumstances. "The mid-year exam will cater to candidates who wish to repeat the KCSE, as well as those who missed it due to illness or unforeseen circumstances.

We also encourage adult candidates to register for the exam," Ogamba stated.

CS Ogamba announced that the mid-year exams will cushion them from having to repeat the full year and offer them an opportunity to join university and college in due time.
