KNEC confirms 2027 will be the final KCSE exam under the 8-4-4 system

What happened

Registration windows for the exam open around February and March each year. Repeaters and private candidates who still need KCSE are being urged to act before the exam is phased out.

Why it may matter

• This is time-bound — there is an application or deadline involved, so check the dates before they pass.
• This is new, so the details are unlikely to be widely known yet.
• Useful if you are trying to build skills.
