The government has reiterated its commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations as the exam period concludes this week.
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba said preparations for the marking exercise are already underway, adding that centre managers have been instructed to reinforce operational discipline to ensure a smooth transition into the next phase.
Speaking at the Deputy County Commissioner’s office in Ruiru, Kiambu County—where he supervised the opening of the Geography and Physics papers alongside education officials—Ogamba noted that the conduct of this year’s KCSE has so far been “above board,” with no major incidents reported.
The CS further emphasized that the ongoing verification of school enrolment by the Ministry is aimed at promoting fairness in the allocation of resources. He said the exercise is necessary to ensure that all schools across the country receive equitable support in line with their actual student populations.
Ogamba assured candidates, parents and all stakeholders that the Ministry remains vigilant and committed to delivering a credible national examination process.
