KCSE Candidate Sits Exams At Cancer Center.
A Kenya Certificate of Secondary School Education (KCSE) candidate from Kakamega County is sitting for her exam at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital, where she is receiving cancer treatment.
Hussein Alanson Hussein, Kisumu Central Deputy County Commissioner (DCC), said the student, who was admitted to the facility’s cancer center last week, is being monitored by specialists as she sits for the exam.
He also stated that arrangements have been made with the facility’s Cancer specialists to ensure that the student sits for the exam uninterrupted.
“This is a unique case and the only one we have so far but we have put in place measures to ensure that all KNEC protocols are observed as she sits for the examination,” he said.
Speaking after overseeing the distribution of KCSE examination papers in the area, the DCC stated that adequate security personnel have been deployed at all examination centers across the sub-county to ensure smooth examination administration.
The exercise, he said, got off to a good start, with 2, 835 students sitting for exams in the area.
He added that a multi-agency team was on the ground to monitor the schools to ensure that all KNEC regulations were followed.
