The results will be released nearly six months later than the traditional announcement date of late December due to the Covid-19 pandemic that disrupted the school calendar.
Marking Disrupted
Marking of the KCSE exams at State House Girls centre was disrupted last Tuesday after teachers downed their tools.
The teachers went on strike over unpaid allowances a day after their colleagues at Moi Girls.
According to the Standard, the teachers received word that their colleagues at other centres were sent home without pay hence the go-slow.
