Candidates caught cheating to get zero marks in affected subjects – Machogu

 

Education CS Ezekiel Machogu on Wednesday said that 252 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education candidates involved in malpractices will receive their results.

According to the CS, this will be in a bid to achieve full transition to secondary school.

“The candidates will receive their results and will transition to secondary school. This is in the spirit of 100 per cent transition,” he said.

Machogu who released the 2022 KCPE results said 252 were caught engaging in the vice across nice examination centers across the country.

He added that the candidates were not awarded any marks in the subjects they engaged in malpractices.

“Overall there were 252 candidates in 9 examination centres who were found to have engaged in malpractices. These candidates have been scored zero in subjects where they engaged in malpractices. None the less the affected students overall marks will be computed less the mark awarded in the affected subject.”
