Academic grading in Kenya

In Kenya the grading system varies according to overall performance of candidates in the national exam called KCSE.
For example, in 2006, a mean grade A corresponded with 76 and upwards percentage points, while in 2007 it changed to 81 and upwards points. However, generally, the grading system is as follows:
| Percent |
Grade |
| 75-100% |
A |
| 70-74% |
A- |
| 65-69% |
B+ |
| 60-64% |
B |
| 55-59% |
C+ |
| 50-54% |
C- |
| 45-49% |
D+ |
| 40-44% |
D |
| 35-39% |
D- |
| 0-39% |

Those with mean grade A to B+ are eligible for entry to a public government funded university.
The rest can go to a private university.
