KCSE 2021-2022 Exam Leakage Still Haunting Candidates Despite Leakage Seller Being Arrested. See How CS Magoha Pardoned 2 KCSE 2021 Candidates Found with Phones Today
The 2021 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education KCSE national exams commenced on a high note after a suspect, a third year student at Zetech University was arrested by CID officers for being in possession of fake 2021 examination papers- KCSE and KCPE 2021 leakages.
Despite the publicized arrest, it seems that KCSE candidates are yet to believe that the era of KCSE examination leakages is gone.
Some KCSE candidates are still carrying phones which are prohibited to the examination Centres with the hope of saving their grades via leakages.
Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has today pardoned two KCSE students from Nairobi caught with mobile phones a few minutes before the national examinations began.
Speaking in Mombasa County on Monday, March 14, Magoha said that the candidates would still carry on with the exams and urged all candidates to concentrate on their exams and avoid any malpractices.
He warned all teachers and exam officials against engaging in any irregularities, noting that they would face the full force of the law if caught.
“We shall allow them to take the exams. I want to warn any teacher who feels brave enough and opens the exam papers beforehand. We shall come for you,” Magoha said.
Teachers Service Commission CEO Nancy Macharia indicated that 70,486 teachers had been thoroughly vetted in order to administer the national exams.
“We have given the best teachers to monitor the exams. We have made strides in the administration of examinations and we want to assure the public that the examinations will be free and fair,” she added.
The Ministry of Education revealed that 831,015 candidates will sit the 2021 KCSE examinations which began Monday morning, March 14 and will run till Friday, April 1.
The Form Four students will start with English paper one and Chemistry paper one in the morning followed by Mathematics paper one and English comprehension.
The tests will be administered in 10, 413 examination centres and the papers will be disseminated from 483 distribution centres nationwide.
