8-4-4


The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) is a certificate awarded to students after completing the approved eight-year course in primary education in Kenya.

KCSE stands for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, which is taken at the completion of Secondary Education.

The examinations are supervised by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC), an examining body in Kenya under the Ministry of Education.

KCPE and KCSE were both started in 1985 when the 8-4-4 system of education was introduced in Kenya.
