Changes in Administration of KCPE and KCSE examination
Basis Education PS also announced few changes in the administration of National Examinations. This equally affects the KCPE and KCSE administration where teachers are accompanied by police officers carrying guns in class.
As much as that is aimed to keep security, Belio urged that the nation should bounce back to the system where no police officer is expected to at the examination centre guarding the process.
“We need to go back to that system where we do not have police officers providing a round the clock security of national examinations,” Kipsang announced.
