The Education CS said that 201,133 candidates who sat for the 2023 KCSE attained a minimum university entry grade of C+.
He also stated that a total of 526,222 candidates scored a mean grade of D+ and above.
However, Machogu regretted that a large number of candidates 48,174 scored a mean grade of E.
