KCSE OUT

The Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education results for 2009 are out.

David Gathuku Ndung'u of Mangu High School is the best candidate in last year's examinations with an index of 87.26.

He was followed by Trevor Mokaya of Maseno School and Hillary Kipkirui of Alliance High School who came in second and third respectively.

Starehe Boys Centre's Fredrick Oduol came in fourth followed by Kenneth Koome of Alliance High School with Edwin Wekesa of Weiwei Secondary school in West Pokot coming in 6th.

Alliance Boys High Schools dominated results in Central Province producing nine out of 10 best students there.

Boys dominated the top 10 positions with the best girl Grace Njunge Wambui of Moi Girls taking position 11.

Education Minister Sam Ongeri said students' performance in the examinations improved slightly compared to 2008 with a total of 81,048 candidates scoring at least an aggregate of C+, which is the minimum grade required to qualify for university admission.

Exam cheating was also down with a total of 69 schools penalised for the vice.

The Kenya National Examinations Council did not rank schools but only provided a list of the top candidates.

The criteria introduced two years ago is meant to discourage irrational competition which has seen some students cheat to top the charts.
