Three girls sit their exams in Embu hospitals

Three candidates sat their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in hospitals in Embu County after they gave birth on the eve of the exam.

County Director of Education James Kairu said the three are girls from Embu, Kirinyaga and Tharaka-Nithi Counties.

He said they had made the necessary arrangements for the trip to take their exams at hospitals until they are discharged.

Generally, the exams kicked off as planned and proceeded normally with exam managers in place at the expected time, according to Kairu.

He said a helicopter was ready to deliver the exams to schools that might be hard to access due to poor roads.
