The Ministry of Education has halted the registration of KCSE repeaters.
Basic Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang on Thursday said the move complies with a court order that suspended the recently launched KCSE July series.
The special examination targets candidates who missed previous KCSE exams due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness, individuals seeking to improve their scores, including those retaking specific subjects, candidates whose results were nullified due to malpractice, and adult learners not enrolled in regular schools but who can provide proof of primary education qualifications. The High Court in Kisii on Wednesday suspended the registration of candidates for the newly introduced mid-year KCSE exams following a petition by Dr Magare Gikenyi.
In his petition, Dr claimed that there was no evidence that public participation was undertaken. "Other parts of the guidelines were made without any stakeholders' consultation and or without public participation," stated Gikenyi.
