The results showed that 375,434 out of 405,204 candidates (92.66 per cent) who sat for the exams passed compared to 422,446 candidates out of 472.833 (89.34 per cent) who had passed in the previous year. Among those who passed in the examination conducted between November 24 and December 5 last year include 195,328 girls and 180,106 boys.
Necta executive secretary Charles Msonde told journalists in the city that despite such improvement, mathematics, pure science subjects, agriculture and business continued to be the least passed subjects with many candidates scoring an average of below 50 per cent. He named subjects in which most candidates achieved best performance as Civics, History, Kiswahili and English Language where more than 84 per cent of the total candidates passed.
“The highest performed subject is History in which 90.71 per cent of students passed, while Mathematics remained the least performed one with only 18.15 students attaining the passing grades, meaning that continuous effective measures are required to improve performance in it,” he said.
Dr Msonde added that the results denoted improvement when compared to the previous year’s in the number of those who failed. While in 2013 some 10 per cent of those who did the exams failed, only seven per cent or 29,770 candidates failed last year.
He added that 453,191 candidates were registered to sit for the exams, but 47,987 (10.60 per cent) students did not write them for various reasons. The passing grade on point shows that 44.66 per cent of the candidates got good passing grades on distinction, merit and credit, while the rest (55.66) will proceed to the next stage with a pass.
The results have also showed that, although the majority of candidates passed in History with various scoring grades, English Language has the highest number of students scoring 100 per cent, with girls beating boys in performance. A total of 26 girls scored 100 in the subject, while boys who attained that mark were only 15.
A total of 11 candidates (6 boys and 4 girls) scored 100 in Mathematics. Candidates also scored 100 per cent in Book keeping (one student), Biology (one student) and Civics (one student).
