One of the most frequently asked questions by parents considering the Cambridge international curriculum is: “Will my child still be able to attend university here in Kenya?” The answer is a confident YES, absolutely!
Whether your child dreams of attending the University of Nairobi, Strathmore, USIU-Africa, Daystar, or any other recognized Kenyan institution, a Cambridge education does not limit them.
Cambridge Qualifications Are Recognized in Kenya
Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level qualifications are internationally benchmarked and recognized by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS). This means that learners who complete Cambridge A-Levels can apply to both public and private Kenyan universities, just like their counterparts in the 8-4-4 or CBE systems.
What matters most is that the student has met the minimum subject requirements and grades set by the individual university, just like in any curriculum.
