Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) rehearsals run smoothly Monday even as the Ministry of Education sought to allay fears that the exam may be disrupted by the ongoing rains, which have caused floods in various parts of the country.
Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang toured several examination centres ahead of the exams, which start Tuesday.
Candidates will sit the mathematics and English papers in the morning and write English composition in the afternoon.
Dr Kipsang said regional directors reported smooth progress. “They have been engaging with centre managers, supervisors, sub-county directors and assistant county directors and security officers and ensured there are no challenges,” he said.
A Nation survey showed all was set for the exams. Eight inmates from Homa Bay GK Prison will be among the more than one million candidates sitting this year’s examinations.
