The Kenya National Examinations Council has cancelled last year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examinations for 1,205 candidates after it established that they were involved in cheating activities.
KNEC Chairman George Magoha noted that 9 exam centers were affected and the management who might have colluded with the students will suffer dire consequences.
“It is therefore regrettable that in total 1,205 candidates in nine of the ten centres alleged to have been involved in examination irregularities have had their examination results cancelled.”
The affected students have been given another opportunity to register for this years exams before the window closes in about a months time
There were attempts by some individuals to gain prior access to question papers during the 2017 examination but all these efforts were nipped in the bud,” he added.
The 2017 KCSE exam results were released on Dec 20
