In Emmanuel Springs Academy in Wote sub county in Makueni county a total of thirty seven KCPE candidates scored a straight A in Mathematics.
However what is surprising is the fact that all of them scored the same mark, eighty five percent.
This has raised eyebrows with some teachers and parents asking whether this is possible.
“What exactly happened, how is this even possible. How can all learners score the same mark,” one of the teachers, Linet, asked.
In the school position one candidate in the KCPE 2021 exams is Emmanuel Mutinda who scored 420 marks.
He is followed closely be Carl Kilai and Allen Kilonzo who both scored 418 marks.
However Mr Patrick Mbatha says this scenario is possibly especially due to standardization introdueced by Knec.
Academic giants in Kitui, Machakos and Makueni counties, whose dominance of the KCPE performance charts had been threatened by little known schools, reclaimed their glory in the 2021 exam results.
They include Emmanuel Springs Academy, that has been posting impressive results over the years.
It topped the region in terms of the number of students who scored 400 marks and above. Of the 123 students who sat the exam at the school, 51 scored 400 marks and above.
“We have produced the best student in the county – Mweke Emmanuel Mutinda – who scored 420 marks,” Mr Patrick Mutua, the head teacher, said.
According to results, Mr Mutua’s school outperformed known academic giants in the county, including Kari Mwailu Primary School, which produced the best KCPE pupil nationally in the 2020 exam.
This year, the school’s top pupil, Christine Mwongeli, scored 417 marks.
At Miangeni International Academy, 25 attained 400 marks and above. The top KCPE pupil scored 420 marks, two marks above the top scorer at ACK Wote Primary School.
AIC Kathonzweni Primary School’s Musyoka Kings Kelvin was among the top ten performers with special needs.
Tusunini Primary School produced five students with more than 400 marks, according to results seen by the Nation.
In Kibwezi region, Ngwiw’a Primary School stunned regional academic giants with Kyalo Victoria Mwongeli scoring 401 marks. In the neighbouring Ngaakaa Primary School, 15 students scored above 350 marks.
In Machakos County, private schools beat public ones in performance.
Willis Kasivu Musau of Lukenya Academy scored 418 marks, emerging among the best in the county. Some 13 students at Muumandu Hills Academy, which has had an impressive record, scored 400 marks and above. The top candidate scored 414 marks.
At the neighbouring Fullcare Academy, Muli Karen Kavila scored 410 marks while Muema Angel Wavinya attained 409 marks.
Teachers however downplayed the drop in the performance of the regional academic giants, saying it reflected the overall performance in the examination nationally.
“The top student last year posted 433 marks. This has dropped to 428 marks this year. We expect that suppressed performance to reflect in all the results. It explains the drop in our performance,” a teacher at Kari Mwailu said.
Results of KCPE 2021 has unearthed all the discrepancies within KNEC. There’s no way all the private schools can Excel overwhelming while all public perish. In 2020, this was not the case. Indeed they had infinitely many reasons to explain this. Public schools have no business in participating in examination malpractice . It’s private who are engaged in cut-throat competition. It’s high time KNEC should wake up from slumber, sober up & seal all pores of examination leakages.
How comes in Emmanuel Primary, from Indec 1 to 37 in science maths and sost, the marks are the same, but fir Eng and Kisw, the marks vary. Could be because there is no way comp abd insha marks would be similar?i wish we could have a look at grammar and lugha most likely mark are similiar as well. So there is more about this school than that meets the eye!!
These are doctored results, follow those learners till the end of form four and see if they will have the same grades in KCSE. This doesnt need rocket science to realize these guys cheated in exams.
There is nothing questionable about this. If the 37 students in question got 400, what makes it impossible for each of them to get 100% (which turns to 85% due to the 0.85 moderation factor). The students are equally as bright. This also applies to science. To score 78% each means each got 47/50 since science was moderated by 0.84. And it does not mean they failed the same questions. If this was the case, we would question perhaps. The results are genuine.
Results
The moderation was screwed against the boy child. In the languages where girls excel most, there was no moderation. In mathematics and science where boys do well, they decided to moderate. It’s unfortunate. The boy child is always the victim. It’s high time the boy child got some one to defend them. We have students who have never gotten less than 430 marks. They only got it in the final exams courtesy screwed moderation. Hope this will not adversely affect their high school choices.
Those results are genuine..let’s give credit where it’s due. I strongly applaud those candidates. Period!
Teachers in private schools are motivated and geared towards results . The results are genuine.
Let’s not judge wrongly this children performed well may check exam especially maths trends of such children, it’s very very much normal
From different classes competition can make even 50 score 100% so are you doubtful of the invigilation or teaching ,I won’t judge without evidence.
