Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu is expected to release the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results today.

It is expected that once the Cabinet Secretary issues the statement, the results will be made immediately available to the candidates who will be able to access them via SMS.

As reported by the Ministry of Education, over 1 million students sat for the 2023 KCPE exams. 

How to Check KCPE 2023 Results Via SMS

Students, parents, or guardians should send the candidate's index number to 40054.

Once the results are announced, students will be able to access them. However, the service costs Ksh25 per SMS.

Due to the high number of pupils who sat for the exams, it is likely that the system might experience delays.

However, the government advises parents and pupils to be patient in the event this happens.

Through KNEC Portal

If the SMS option is not viable, those interested can visit KNEC's online portal.

While on the portal, click on the KNEC tab and select the year the candidate sat for the exams.

Enter the index number, submit and the results will appear.

For this to work, note that you need internet connectivity to access the portal and be able to print the results.

Besides the above methods, interested parties can also get the results from the county offices or their respective schools.

These two may take longer compared to using the digital channels.
