Ordinarily, it takes a new primary school only eight years to register the first batch of its Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) candidates.

But for Nakoko Primary School in Baringo County, the journey was long and arduous. It took the school a record 45 years to register the first group of KCPE candidates.
