Magoha Provides Update on KCPE/KCSE Preparation, Issues New Directive to Teachers.
Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha has told school principals not to accept exam success cards with pictures and portraits of people running for political office.
“If you receive success cards with portraits, destroy them because our children are God’s children and don’t belong to political parties or individuals,” Magoha added.
He stated that his ministry was prepared for the KCPE and KCSE exams, and he encouraged students not to be concerned because they would be tested on what they had learned in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
He warned teachers and invigilators not to assist candidates in cheating, saying they would be dealt with harshly by his ministry.
The education calendar for 2022 is expected to be one of the most difficult. In the midst of rising Covid-19 cases and heightened political tensions, five national examinations in primary and secondary schools will be held.
Teachers, according to Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha, will be critical to exam success noting that all five national exams have already been set.
