A candidate for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) is at risk of missing the national exam after being suspended by her school for having chewing gum in her bag.
The form four student was found with the gum during a routine search when pupils returned from the mid-term break.
According to her mother, the gum was left in the bag by mistake, an error, she says, that her daughter has admitted to.
With the exams just weeks away, the concerned mother is worried that her daughter now risks falling behind in her studies.
