I don't know what the fuss is about the errors in KCSE...in fact getting an education. Why not just pass a law that<span class="toplinksm"></span>
prohibits anybody from learning anything?

Well, <br><br>Whatever might have gone wrong should to be corrected:<br><ol><li>Students must receive the correct marks, the KCSE results are really key to anyones career and it's is very important that candidates feel they are holding the result which they indeed achieved. <br>

Dear All,<br>
My earlier e-mail to Aduda has elisted direct questions as to how the<br>
programing error could have occured. Usually errors such as the one<br>
explained by the Minister occur during Data Mining.<br>
<br>
Researchers generally define data mining (sometimes called data or<br>
knowledge discovery) as the process of analyzing data from different<br>
perspectives and summarizing it into useful information - information that<br>
can be used to increase revenue, cuts costs, or both. Data mining software<br>
is one of a number of analytical tools for analyzing data. It allows users<br>
to analyze data from many different dimensions or angles, categorize it,<br>
and summarize the relationships identified. Technically, data mining is<br>
the process of finding correlations or patterns among dozens of fields in<br>
large relational databases like KCSE.<br>
<br>
Data does not automatically become information unless it is mined properly.<br>
<br>
