Few Teachers Accessing KCSE Exams Before Time, But Tests Not Leaked – Magoha.
Mobile phones are causing headaches in the administration of national examinations.
CS Education According to George Magoha, the government is considering a total ban on cell phone use in schools during exams. “Cell phones are the greatest single enemy we have today,” he said.
“There is no way there could be answers on those phones. A few teachers are accessing exams early before exam time, but the test has not leaked,” Prof Magoha said.
According to the CS, reports that mobile phones confiscated in exam rooms contained exam answers were false.
The CS was responding to reports that three counties have been called in after three teachers and a student were discovered with photos of KCSE exam papers. Nairobi, Kisii, and Garissa, he said, are on the ministry’s radar.

“The matter is being investigated by the police,“ the CS said after dedicating a CBC classroom at Precious Blood Girls High School in Riruta.
