A total of 29,318 candidates scored Grade E, with a majority of them (17,894) coming from sub-county schools. National schools produced 338 candidates with E grade. A total of 63,102 candidates scored C while 83,358 had C-, which means they can join technical and vocational training colleges, whose capacity is less than 100,000. “Last year, a similar number of students scored D+ and there have been no follow-up surveys to establish where they are, or why they performed so dismally."
