The Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) has issued what could be the final opportunity for thousands of Kenyans who have never sat the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination.

The council also is calling on those wishing to improve their previous grades, urging them to register for the 2027 examinations before the country fully transitions to the Competency-Based Education (CBE) system.

The 2027 KCSE examination will mark the end of an era, becoming the final national secondary school examination under Kenya's 8-4-4 education system that has been in place since 1985.

Knec Chief Executive Officer David Njeng'ere said the Council wants all eligible learners who have not previously sat KCSE to seize the opportunity because there will be no similar examination once the country fully migrates to the CBE curriculum.
