Mystery as final year student misses exams

KAKAMEGA: A second year student at Kaimosi Teachers Training College has been left out of a list of 640 others sitting their final examinations.

The exams commenced Monday but Shanice Rutto was not registered with the Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) by the college administration.

She learnt she had not been enlisted on Friday last week after her name did not appear on Knec's nominal roll that was shown to candidates at the institution by tutors who would be supervising the assessments.

She said she had sat her mock examination and teaching practice but was shocked that she had not been informed of the current situation until the last minute.

"I was told I was registered and that my index number is 3861901256. Registration money for the final exam is included in the first year's fees upon admission,'' Ms Rutto said.

Her brother, Hillary Kiplagat, later said the family's efforts to have the district education officer write a letter to allow her 'sit the examination by protest' were futile while Dean of Students Zachary Okello did not assist her either.
