Expect KCPE Results
later this week or early next week, says Magoha
The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education 2021 results may
be out later this week of early next week, Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George
Magoha has said.
Magoha says the marking of both English Composition and Kiswahili Insha is
almost over hence it is a signal that the Class eight examinations results will
be out by end of this week or early next week.
Addressing the press in Kisumu today at the Kisumu Central
Deputy County Commissioner’s office after opening and overseeing the
distribution of KCSE Examinations papers at 6:00am, Education Cabinet Secretary
said the Kenya national Examination Council is doing what it can to ensure that
the marking is successful and the results released as early as possible.
Magoha who picked a Kisumu Based journalist to help him open this week’s KCSE examinations boxes has
asked the media to be realistic in reporting on the issues of national exams
and get the proper meaning of exam leakage.
He slammed a section of the media of reporting about leakage
in the ongoing exams maintaining that there are now leaked exams son far, adding
that what transpired where some exam center managers were caught after
photographing the some exams papers and posting into the internet is not
leakage at all.
“A leakage means one has an exam paper way ahead of the
actual examination process may be several days, months before the exam is
tackled. What has happened is about some people who have been trying to justify
some money they have been given to breach the integrity of this exams but we
have now caught up with them,” Magoha says.
Magoha says from now henceforth, the Ministry of Education
has banned the use of cellphones in the examination centers by those manning
the exams except for two cellphones for emergency purposes.
“We have now only allowed the center manager and one
security officer to have a cellphone in the examination center reason being
there could be something that could be interactive or a candidate may fall sick
hence there may be need for communications,” he says.
He adds that the other persons manning the exams will leave
their mobile phones at home while coming to the examination centers.
He has warned some people he has described as crooked who
may want to attempt exposing the second examination paper not to try doing so
because they wont succeed because of the limited time.
“Tell me how the person who is trying to expose the second
paper within a period of half an hour?,” he posed.
