KCPE results will be released today, following the return of President William Ruto from a trip abroad.
Education CS and the Kenya National Examinations Council will first present and brief the President on the results before announcing them to the public.
Some education officials said they had been informed to be “on stand-by” as they might be invited to attend the release ceremony at the New Mitihani House on short notice.
This is the second-last edition of the KCPE examinations before the 8-4-4 system of education is completely phased out of the primary school curriculum next year.
It will be the first KCPE examination release for Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu.
It will also be the first time the results will be released from the new Knec headquarters which took more than 35 years to complete.
The release of the results is expected to be followed by Form One selection, probably after Christmas in order to give parents time to prepare their children before schools open on January 23.
All the Learners who did their exams are expected to receive their results whether they cheated or not as announced earlier by the Cabinet Secretary.
After the Form One selection, all the candidates are expected to join various schools for their secondary education in line with 100% transition policy.
As the KCPE exams candidates eagerly await their results, their counterparts in Grade 6 who sat the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment have no such anxiety.
