Butere Boys High School has staged a strong academic comeback following an impressive performance in the recently released 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results.
The leading boys’ school recorded 401 candidates attaining the minimum university entry grade of C+ and above. The school also posted a mean score of 7.809, a significant improvement from 6.14 recorded in 2024, translating to an 89.3 per cent university transition rate.
Speaking after the release of the results, Chief Principal Mr Habil Malika congratulated the 2025 candidate class for the outstanding performance, terming it a major milestone for the institution.
“Registering a mean improvement of 1.36 is no small achievement. I am extremely happy with the results,” said Mr Malika.
He attributed the success to collective effort, thanking parents for trusting the school with their sons and for their continued support of school programs.
“Academic success is a shared responsibility. All stakeholders played their role effectively, and I give them credit for that,” he noted.
Mr Malika also praised the teaching staff for their dedication, saying that timely syllabus coverage enabled adequate revision and effective exam preparation.
“My teachers did everything humanly possible to ensure we excelled academically. Completing the syllabus in good time allowed us to plan properly for revision, and the results speak for themselves,” he said.
The principal further acknowledged the role of the school sponsor, noting their contribution to students’ spiritual nourishment and moral guidance.
“Our sponsor played a very critical role in guiding the boys, nurturing them spiritually, and being consistently present. We are grateful for their support,” he added.
Beyond academics, Mr Malika noted that 2025 was an equally successful year in co-curricular activities. The school’s soccer team advanced to the East African level, while the hockey team reached the regional championships.
Looking ahead to 2026, the school has already strengthened its soccer squad by recruiting promising players in Grade 10 and aims to cement its status as a regional soccer powerhouse.
Academically, the principal said the school will build on existing strategies, including early syllabus coverage, benchmarking with top-performing institutions, motivating teachers, and encouraging students to be self-driven.
“In 2026, we will ride on the measures already in place to achieve even better results,” Mr Malika concluded.
