The Principal Secretary for Basic Education, Dr. Belio Kipsang, presided over the opening and issuance of the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams at the Changamwe Sub County, Mombasa, on Monday. In his address, Dr. Kipsang urged both candidates and exam supervisors to adhere strictly to the rules and regulations set out by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) to ensure the integrity and fairness of the examination process.
“We must maintain the credibility of our exams and ensure that all candidates are given a fair and equal opportunity,” said Dr. Kipsang. He emphasized that any malpractices or violations of exam rules would not be tolerated and that the ministry was committed to providing a secure and transparent examination environment.
Dr. Kipsang also took the opportunity to encourage the candidates, wishing them success in their exams. “This is a critical moment in your academic journey, and I urge you to stay focused and do your best. Your hard work will pay off,” he said, offering words of motivation and reassurance.
