900000 sit for their KCPE
Close to 900,000 primary school candidates start writing their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations this morning, as authorities assured security had been heightened in regions grappling with sporadic attacks. The examinations involving some 889, 107 candidates battling for Form One places next year will take place in approximately 24,278 examination centres across the country. The Standard Eight candidates are scheduled to tackle Mathematics and English papers on the first day of the examinations that run through to Thursday. Kenya National Examinations Council ( Knec) has contracted supervisors, 55,505 invigilators, 48,576 security personnel and 6,071 drivers for the three day nationwide examination. Authorities assured more security personnel had been deployed to watch over schools in Baringo County where more than 12,000 candidates would write the examination. This followed fears over their safety after the killing of 22 police officers in Kapedo which borders the county and Turkana. Some of the areas hit by insecurity include parts of Marigat, Baringo North and Tiaty constituency where heavy security has been deployed to secure examination centres. “Armed officers have been dispatched to all schools that are in banditry-prone areas and I can assure you that everything is on course,” said Peter Okwanyo, area county commissioner.
