Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education
- Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education
KCSE stands for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, which is taken at the completion of Secondary Education.
The first KCSE exam was held in 1989 at the same time as the last Kenya Advanced Certificate of Education (KACE), which it replaced as the entrance requirement for Kenyan Universities.
The top student was Naeem Samnakay, who had also been the top student in the first KCPE exam 4 years previously.
Initially, KCSE was a minimum of 10 subjects. KCSE has since been reviewed twice, and the minimum number of subjects is now 7.
For grading, candidates must take all the three compulsory subjects, at least two sciences, one humanities and at least one practical or technical subject (see table below).
The examination is taken over October & November and the results are released in February the following year.
