MoE Bans Taking Photos Of KCPE Candidates In Classrooms During Exam Administration.
No one, including the media, should be allowed to photograph candidates in the classroom while exams are being administered, the Ministry of Education has warned.
Speaking early today in Homa Bay town during the opening and distribution of examination materials, the Principal Secretary for Basic Education Dr Julius Jwan said some are taking photos of candidates during an exam and spreading them on social media to give the impression that the exam has been leaked
“We have had a situation of somebody taking photos of a candidate during the exam and then circulates in social media to create an impression that exam has been leaked.
“You have seen the way that the sealing is done and everything has happened at the container in the presence of relevant authorities. The materials cannot be tampered with at any given time,” he noted.
He said, “I want to reiterate that we have instructed the security officers to make sure nobody takes a photo inside the classroom when candidates are already having their papers on the table or as soon as the papers are opened.”
