 National exams are ready-Education CS

Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has reiterated the Government’s full commitment in administering the three National exams across the country beginning this month.

Machogu says the Government is now ready to administer the Grade Six National Examination, the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education {KCPE} exams for class eight and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education {KCSE} for the form fours which is slated to kick off this November.

Addressing the press in Kisumu today after meeting the multi-agency examination administration team officers, Machogu said all is set for the three National Examinations to kick off.

He says the examination papers have been dispatched to the 493 distribution and storage centers across the country ahead of the exams kick off.

He says the exercise of the National exams administration is closely followed by the various multi-agencies team officers to ensure their successes during administration.

“I want to assure you that all is well and we have all the center managers who are in charge and we will send the security officers to man examination papers within the center,” Machogu says.

The Education Cabinet Secretary says the integrity process of the exams will never be compromised at all cost, adding that everything will be credible.

Machogu at the same time lauded Kenyans for turning up to give their views to the Presidential working Group on the Current Curriculum of Education known as Competency Based Curriculum {CBC}.

He says learners in Grade six proceeding to Grade seven will know whether they will remain in the primary schools they are currently or transit to Secondary school in Grade seven once the report is handed over to President Dr. William Ruto in the course of next month.

“The report will be handed over to the President and Kenyans will know where Grade 7 and 8 will be domiciled,” he adds.

He further says the report that will be handed over to the President is the one that was gathered in all the 47 counties in regard to the Competency Based Curriculum.
