Education Cabinet Secretary has introduced new measures in an effort to ensure cheating is minimal. Speaking during a graduation ceremony at the Kenya Institute of Special Education in Kasarani, Machogu emphasised on the need to minimise irregularities.
He said that the Ministry has increased the number of distribution centers. This will ensure that exams are nearer to the exam centers.
“We have been able to increase the number of containers this year and the distribution centres so that the centre managers can get the exam papers from the nearest place possible.”
He also added that examination center managers will pick morning and afternoon exams separately. This will prevent early exposure of the papers that has always led to cheating.
“They will go for the papers in the morning and again go for the same in the afternoon in order for us to avoid early exposure which was giving us a headache.”
Addressing the complaints that have been raised by examination markers, Machogu assured markers that this year will be different. There has been increase in examination marking centers and their compensation will be paid on time.
Kenya Certificate Of Secondary Education and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education will begin on 23rd October and 30th October respectively. Main KCSE exams will start on 6th November starting with Chemistry Paper 1.
