A national crisis is unfolding, with over three million learners at risk of being affected due to delayed funding for this year’s national examinations—the largest exam cycle in Kenya’s history.

With just four months remaining before the commencement of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA), and the inaugural Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA), The Standard has established that the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) is yet to begin printing the examination papers. This delay is fuelling fears of logistical chaos.
