Academic grading in Kenya

Academic grading in Kenya

In Kenya the grading system varies according to overall performance of candidates in the national exam called KCSE.

For example, in 2006, a mean grade A corresponded with 76 and upwards percentage points, while in 2007 it changed to 81 and upwards points. However, generally, the grading system is as follows: Those with mean grade A to B+ are eligible for entry to a public government funded university.

The rest can go to a private university.
