Anyone found leaking information about this year’s National Exams has received a severe warning from Deputy President Righathi Gachagua.
Gachagua argued that every student taking the test deserves a fair opportunity to succeed.
He stated in a tweet, “We want an equitable playing field for every child to score what they deserve in forthcoming National Examinations for our applicants.
He stated that anyone responsible for exam leaks would be dealt with severely.
During the examination process, “we emphasize vigilance and accountability,” he stated.
Three national exams will be taken this year by candidates.
For the Competency-Based Curriculum, the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, the sixth grade assessment.
Exams for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Cambridge Certificate of Basic Education (CBC) will start on November 28 and last for three days. Exams for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education will end on December 23.
The Grade 6 examinations will be administered to 1.5 million students in the pioneer cohort in November.
The deputy president urged teachers to be content with their pay in a speech on Friday.
He insisted that they must be satisfied in order to resist the temptation to sell exam information to criminals in exchange for payment.
Gachagua pleaded with the audience not to be duped by criminals into helping them circumvent a legitimate exam administration process by trying to leak the results.
No officer, including instructors, invigilators, and supervisors across the nation should be found to be leaking examinations, he stated.
“You’ll get caught by the law, and it’s not really worth it,”
He claimed that working hard and sweating for a living might bring about a sense of fulfillment and dignity.
Instead of releasing the exam results, he remarked, “It is really rewarding to get your Sh50,000 after 30 days of invigilating or supervising.”
In order to supplement their income, the DP encouraged teachers who were dissatisfied with their pay to start side businesses like farming or investing in Saccos.
