Lugulu Girls celebrates outstanding KCSE results after long wait

Teachers and students at Lugulu Girls School in Bungoma are celebrating following the release of the 2024 KCSE results, which had been previously withheld by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC). The school recorded an impressive mean grade of 9.3417, with 99 percent of its students—672 out of 676—qualifying for university admission.

Among the top achievers, 13 candidates earned a mean grade of A, while 93 secured A- and 191 received B+. Additionally, 232 students scored B, 118 attained B-, and 25 achieved C+. However, four candidates did not meet the minimum cut-off points, with the lowest grade being a D+.

Principal Dinah Cheruiyot expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the teaching staff and students for their hard work. “This morning, we thank God for our results and the dedication that has led to this achievement. The uncertainty surrounding our results caused many sleepless nights, but as a school known for excellence, we will continue to build on this momentum,” she stated.

During the results announcement, Education CS Migos Ogamba disclosed that KNEC had cancelled the results of 840 candidates due to exam malpractices. He further noted that the results of an additional 2,829 candidates were withheld pending further investigations. “It is unfortunate that some professionals and teachers are intent on sabotaging the future of our learners through examination malpractices,” Ogamba remarked.
