• They are calling on the government to intervene, as they believe the grades issued by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) may be fake.

Students at Oruba Boys Secondary School in Migori County have expressed their disbelief and concern over the results they received during the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination.

They are calling on the government to intervene, as they believe the grades issued by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) may be fake.

The students are perplexed by the stark contrast between their previous academic performance and their grades in the KCSE examination. Many claim to have consistently achieved scores above a B, only to be shocked by the D and E grades they received.

"The results we received shocked us because if you compare the KCSE results with what we have been getting, it does not give a clear picture. I have been getting above B, but now I have a D+. I am asking the government to give us the real results. If you can hear us, may you help us," one student passionately appealed to the government.

Another student shared his doubts, saying, "My conscious mind tells me these results are not real. They do not reflect the grades we have been getting since we started schooling. In the recent KCSE results, I scored a D in all the subjects. Even teachers are shocked by them. They had nothing to say. We have been passing. What step should we take to get our real results?"

The students are concerned about the distribution of grades within their school. They assert that there should be a range of scores in any examination, from the highest to the lowest. However, in their case, only two students achieved a C-grade, while most obtained Ds and Es.

This has raised suspicions among the students about the validity of the results.

"Our parents are shocked. We don’t know what to say to them. Many schools are celebrating the good grades they got, while we are mourning the poor performance. We request the Cabinet Secretary and his team to review our papers again and, if possible, bring them to the school to confirm if they are real," one student added.
