A KCPE candidate during past examination. [Collins Kweyu, Standard]

I feel privileged to be among the last Class Eight candidates. Brothers and sisters, being the last Standard Eight 'army', we have a door ahead to either joy or sorrow.

Joy because of the opportunity to bring down the curtain on the 8-4-4 system of education honourably, by registering, if possible, a record KCPE exam performance. Anxiety on the other hand, comes from knowing that we have no possibility of repeating the class, as has been done in the past, in case of poor performance!
