Kenya Certificate of Primary Education
The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) is an examination taken by students in Kenya at the end of their primary education, typically around the age of 13. It assesses students' knowledge and skills acquired during their eight years of primary schooling. The KCPE is administered by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and serves as a key determinant for admission into secondary schools.
The examination covers various subjects, including Mathematics, English, Kiswahili, Science, and Social Studies. Performance in the KCPE is crucial, as it influences students' educational pathways and opportunities for further studies in the Kenyan education system.
