NAIROBI: While releasing the 2014 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examination (KCSE) results at Mitihani House in Nairobi yesterday, the Cabinet Secretary for Education Prof Jacob Kaimenyi noted that the 2014 examination results marked a great improvement from 2013.
Jacob Kaimenyi was also quick to note that the results of at least five national schools were cancelled because of cheating. This is despite a decline in reported cases in 2014. The Kenya National Examinations Council might want to investigate the causes of cheating: Do students cheat because it is too hard to pass? If that is the case, then teachers should take the blame for sleeping on the job. Do they cheat because it is easy to cheat? If that is true, Knec has slept on the job.
