Narok education stakeholders have called on examination managers to be vigilant to follow all the examination protocols while administering the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education that is commencing today.
Led by the Narok County Commissioner Evans Achoki, the examination managers were warned against taking the exam to their offices which is against the guidelines set by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC).
Achoki reminded the managers that lateness will not be condoled during this season saying any teacher who will come past the agreed time will risk disciplinary action.
He said two armed police officers must always escort the exam and make sure they are within the school premises to guard the students as they sit for the exam.
The county commissioner reiterated that come rain come sunshine, the exam papers should be delivered to all the candidates who registered for the examination.
The Narok County Education Director Ms. Jane Njogu called on the exam managers to ensure the strict adherence to Covid-19 regulations is adhered to.
He asked the managers to immediately report any case of absenteeism to administer the exam to the candidates wherever they are, in cases of sickness.
Narok County Director of Education Benard Kimachaas warned teachers who will be involved in irregularities of dire consequences.
He also urged school heads to submit a list of all teachers and workers in their respective schools, to be submitted to the department of health for the teachers to receive the Covid-19 jab.
This year, the number of candidates sitting for secondary education is 10052 in 165 centers distributed around the county.
The top education officials thereafter proceeded to Narok High school where they assessed the administration of the exam.
