Five schools in Meru on KNEC watchlist as war on exam malpractice intensifies
October 1, 2018 Eastern Newspaper

The Government has issued a stern warning to schools, candidates and parents against cheating in the national exams.

According to Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) security and education officials will be dispatched to six parts of the country to investigate reports of plans to cheat in the forthcoming national examinations.

KNEC Chairman Prof George Magoha has said the Council is keenly focusing on four secondary schools in Kisii, five in Meru and three in Garissa alleged to be involved in exam malpractice.

According to reports, some school heads are charging parents to help them finance the purchases of the materials.

Magoha said the Council and security agencies are aware of plans to sneak out exam papers out of invigilation centres.

“Premature exposure is the major problem the Council is facing as some people are planning to go do exams for the students and bring it back,” said Prof Magoha.

Education Principal Secretary (PS) Bellio Kipsang noted that the Ministry was prepared to tackle any malpractices

“Together with Knec officials, we will step up the exam pre-monitoring exercise which will hit a crescendo when the theory papers begin,” said the PS.
