BARINGO COUNTY: As Kenya Certificate Secondary Education exams kick off on Tuesday, some candidates for the first time will be coming into contact with science practical equipment since they embarked on their secondary education.

And some schools this last week have been racing against time to expose their candidates with the science practical equipment which they have been forced to only theorize for the last four years for lack of science laboratories and equipment.
