The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations start today. Ideally, they should have been done in December 2020 were it not for Covid-19 that disrupted the school calendar. Learning institutions were closed in March 2020 as a precautionary measure against the spread of Covid-19.

Grade Four and Class Eight pupils as well as Form Four students resumed learning in October 2020 in readiness for these exams. It is our hope that they are fully prepared despite the prevailing circumstances.
