The Principal Secretary for Basic Education, Dr. Belio Kipsang, has issued a stern warning to school principals who fail to register students for national examinations.
Dr. Kipsang emphasized that any such failure would be considered an examination irregularity, with those responsible facing legal consequences.
โThere is no reason, no reason at all, why we should not register any child because the government pays for these exams,โ Dr. Kipsang stated.
The PS reminded the principals that the government covers all examination fees, eliminating any financial excuse for non-registration.
He also shared that a school in Eldoret had already faced legal action for failing to register candidates, warning that any similar cases would lead to similar legal measures.
Dr. Kipsang stressed that school principals have a duty to ensure all eligible students are registered for exams. He pointed out that financial constraints are no longer a valid reason for non-compliance, especially with the government fully funding the exam fees.
He reiterated that non-registration of candidates is in clear violation of the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) Act, and those found guilty will face severe legal repercussions.
