The Western region is celebrating a bumper harvest of grades. Friends School Kamusinga and Bunyore Girls have posted exceptional results in the 2025 KCSE exams, confirming their status as the academic powerhouses of Mulembe nation.

Kamusinga, known for its disciplined "Frisk" culture, recorded a mean score of 9.8, producing over 50 straight As. The school’s dominance in sciences—Physics and Chemistry—was particularly notable, sending hundreds of students to engineering courses.

The Girls Shine

Bunyore Girls High School did not disappoint. The "BG" fraternity celebrated a mean score of 9.4, with a 98% transition rate to university. "We train girls to lead," said the Principal amidst dance and song.

• Other Stars: Kakamega School and Lugulu Girls also posted strong improvements. The region’s investment in infrastructure, funded by committed alumni networks, is paying dividends.
• The Celebration: In Kimilili and Vihiga, business came to a standstill as parents and students paraded in the streets. The success is a morale booster for a region often sidelined in national development discourse.
• University Bound: Western Kenya is set to send over 40,000 students to university this year, a critical mass of human capital for the country's future.
