Speaking in Bungoma town today, Education Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiangi assured people to be less worried about favorism during examination markings.
While witnessing the distribution of KCSE exams, the CS said that it will be totally strict, under security surveillance during the entire period.
“We will use the strictest methods to conduct the marking of exams and this will bring confidence to our new system of managing exams,” said Dr Matiangi.
“We should encourage our children to work hard. Not let them value grades that they have not worked for. It’s not business as usual in exams in Kenya,” CS Matiang’i said.
The CS aded that sacrifices made by school heads and supervisors during the administration of exams should not be undone at the marking stage.
“I am warning those who will be involved in the marking not to drop the ball on the exercise. We will not let the sacrifice made to go to waste,” he said.
