A student at a Kericho day-secondary school has defied all odds to emerge victorious in his four-year schooling journey by attaining an A-minus grade.

Brian Sang Kipkorir, who studied at Poiywek Secondary School in Ainamoi Sub-County, Kericho, scored an A minus of 80 points and attributed his success to hard work in class and discipline in his study routine, despite walking five kilometres every day from home for the four years he was at the school.

Kipkorir urged students preparing for this year's KCSE at the mixed-day secondary school to work hard in their classes and revise thoroughly for good grades. "I am so delighted I cannot express the joy that I have.

I was expecting to score this grade since, from the time I joined this school, I have never dropped below an A minus grade.
