Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has revealed that plans are underway to have all Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificates collected from government offices rather than schools, as was previously the practice.
The plan comes barely three days after the CS directed all school principals to release the KCSE certificates they had been withholding due to fee arrears.
Sources privy to Kenyans.co.ke revealed that the CS told Members of Parliament (MPs) that he wants the issuance of KCSE certificates removed from schools after it was revealed that principals had disregarded his directive not to withhold the documents.
School principals were put on the spot for withholding the certificates and, in turn, hampering students from furthering their education because they lacked the required documents.
