The Kenya National Examination Council says its website is working well. Students are getting their 2024 KCSE exam results. But there are some small delays.
This is because so many people are trying to see their scores at once—up to 300,000 people are checking every second! KNEC asked Kenyans to please be patient. They promised everyone would be able to get their results.
Last year was the first time KCSE results were given out online. Before that, people had to text to get them. But some got fake results that way. That's why KNEC switched to a website.
In 2024, 965,501 students took the KCSE exam. They went to 10,755 different test centers around Kenya. The exams started on October 28.
Many students and parents tried to check...

Two public buses in Rongai were seen being driven very badly on Magadi Road, on the route from Lang'ata to Ongata Rongai. A video showed the buses driving close together and honking a lot. They were going fast near Maasai Lodge.
Some bus workers were hanging on the outside of the moving buses. Three of them even sat on the roof of one bus. The bus was speeding down the wrong side of the road, close to Multimedia University.
A police officer was there directing traffic. But he did not seem to care about the dangerous actions.
Someone posted the video online and tagged the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA). NTSA later said the police had taken the two buses and thanked the person for telling them about the problem.

Capt. Ibrahim Traore leads Burkina Faso's military. He went to Ghana on Tuesday. Ghana was having a ceremony to make John Mahama its new president.
Many people were surprised by something Traore did. He had a gun on his hip at the event. That is not normal.
Some think it was a problem. They say it broke security rules. Others think it shows Traore does not trust Ghana. He may not think they can keep him safe.
Ghana has not said if Traore could bring the gun. The BBC asked them about it. But they did not answer.
Mahama won the election last month. He beat Mahamudu Bawumia by a lot. Bawumia was part of the group that was in charge before.

Zimbabwean schools will open next week. The government's message for school leaders is to stop bad behavior. This comes from the top education official, Mr. Moses Mhike.
Parents have complained about schools. Some require students to pay fees only in foreign money, and others turn away students who can't pay. Some even want bribes to let kids in.
Mr. Mhike says this must end. He points to a rule from 2022 that says schools have to accept local money for fees. Parents can pay how they want, as Zimbabwe uses many currencies.
Schools also can't force parents to buy uniforms and supplies only from them. Families should be able to shop around for better prices. The government will check that schools follow these rules.
As schools prepare...
