KCPE and KPSEA exams kick off

Candidates in class eight and those in grade six will today begin their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) examinations. 

The exercise has already kicked off countrywide as Education ministry officials and exam supervisors availed themselves at exam collection centres this morning.

President Ruto is expected to oversee the exercise in Kikuyu, Kiambu County on Monday morning.

Other leaders will also visit various examination centres to oversee distribution of examination materials.

Education PS Belio Kipsang has assured all candidates that all is good, to ensure all registered learners sit their exams.

“This is our last KCPE and we will not want any child to be disadvantaged. We have directed all officers to ensure all children sit for their exams,” Kipsang said on Monday morning.

The examinations will mark the end of the 8-4-4 education system in primary schools.
