The Ministry of Education has released new rules that it will employ to sanction students who cheat on exams. Before the end of the following week, the Ministry should announce the exam results. Examiners are continuing to mark the remaining papers despite reports of striking at certain marking facilities.
Hon. Ezekiel Machogu, the Education Cabinet Secretary, said in a public interview this morning that all students who took the KCSE test last year but used unethical methods to pass will have a difficult time. According to Machogu, any suspicion of irregularities will result in a 58% reduction in the victim’s overall grade in each subject. According to the former Nyaribari Masaba member of parliament, the affected pupils’ results would also be canceled.
“Candidates for the KCSE believed I was unintelligent because they were using exam cheating. Most of them, I believe, will be astonished. I’ve instructed the chief examiners to deduct 0.58 of the total points from each subject for each student “Machogu made a remark.
