THERE WAS NO CHEATINNG

KCPE RESULTS 2016 By Dr Matiang'i |
In the results released at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) in Nairobi, only 5,190 obtained 400 marks and above compared to 7,560 in 2015. And for the first time in Kenya's KCPE history, Dr Matiang'i said all candidates would receive their results as there was not a single case of cheating. Only 21 cases of malpractices and attempted cheating were reported across the country, he said. But Dr Matiang'i failed to meet the expectations of the nation when he announced that schools and candidates would not be ranked, saying the law ordering the return to the old tradition took effect too late.
The top candidate in the 2016 KCPE exams managed 439 marks, not 436, as earlier announced, Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has clarified. This is a 10-mark drop from last year's 449.
KCPE 2017 EXAM FEES TO BE PAID BY THE GOVERNMENT
The Cabinet secretary said that starting next year (2017) the government would pay KCPE exams fees for all candidates in both private and public schools.
And in addition to the ongoing efforts to curb cheating, Dr Matiang'i said all private candidates will have to write their tests from centres approved by the Education ministry.
Headteachers will also be required to register all their candidates as one entity in one centre after it emerged that schools seeking a higher ranking were listing pupils at different centres.
RETURN TO KCPE EXAMS RANKING
This year's release was a clear break from tradition in terms of timing — the results are being issued at the beginning, not the end, of December.
Former Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi had banned ranking, saying it created unnecessary competition and encouraged cheating.
REINTRODUCTION OF ANNUAL FANFARE
And instead of measuring and ranking performance in KCPE and KCSE tests alone, the 2016 Kenya National Examination (Amendment) Act requires the minister to also rank performance of schools in co-curricular activities next year.
