Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos Ogamba has downplayed the threats of budget gaps for the 2025 national exams, terming it an unintended omission.
Concerns and confusion marred the public after reports revealed that national exams, including the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), might be interrupted following a Ksh62 billion shortfall in the education sector.
Besides KCSE, other examinations affected by the lack of budget include the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KEPSEA) and Junior Secondary School (JSS) examinations.
Members of the National Assembly raised an alarm over the lack of budget allocation for examination preparation and invigilation in the 2025/26 national budget.
