The learning institution introduced “O” Level examinations in 1965 and later expanded to offer “A” Level education in 1971, strengthening its academic profile and preparing learners for university education.
Following national education restructuring, the A-Level stream was eventually phased out during the transition to Kenya’s 8-4-4 system.
