The 2020 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination candidates will know their results by May 10, the Ministry of Education has confirmed.

Speaking in Nairobi while monitoring the national exam that entered its final day on Wednesday, April 21, Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha said marking would begin almost immediately.

Magoha assured parents and candidates that the marking exercise would be complete two weeks ahead of May 10, the tentative KCSE exam results release date.

The national exam kicked off on March 26, with the last batch of the examinees writing Computer Science and Art and Design papers on April 21.

According to Magoha, the whole exercise was 100% successful despite many challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic.

Cheating

At the same time, the CS revealed that 27 teachers had been sacked over their involvement in the leakage of crucial exam papers and other materials.

Magoha said the tutors were stripped of their roles as centre administrators, supervisors, or invigilators after committing the malpractice during the examination period.

“We experienced a number of cases where examination officials attempted to open the papers with the intention of exposing them to candidates before the actual examinations started. We thwarted these efforts in a few centres countrywide,” he said.

Arrested and Charged

On Thursday, March 31, four teachers were charged before Rongo Law Courts for allegedly facilitating examination malpractices in Migori County.

The suspects included a secondary school principal, who allegedly colluded with the KCSE invigilator, to leak exams to help the candidates revise ahead of the scheduled time.

However, appearing in court, the tutors denied accusations of engaging in examination malpractice, maintaining they were innocent.
