Speaking at a recent education forum, Dr. Kipsang emphasized the need for a fair examination environment. He stressed that the credibility of exams must be maintained at all costs. “Our children deserve honest and fair assessments,” Dr. Kipsang stated.

In recent years, examination cheating has posed challenges across the education sector. Dr. Kipsang highlighted that strict monitoring will be enforced at all examination centers. To prevent possible misconduct, additional security measures will be implemented, including deploying more invigilators and supervisors. The government is determined to ensure a smooth, credible examination period.

The Principal Secretary also addressed teachers and school administrators, urging them to uphold ethical practices. He reminded them that as leaders, they bear a responsibility to model honesty. “As the backbone of this country’s education system, your commitment to integrity is essential,” he added.

Dr. Kipsang reassured students and parents that every measure is being taken to guarantee fairness. He acknowledged that students work hard for their exams, and any dishonest practices are a betrayal of their efforts. He urged students to rely on their own abilities and warned that shortcuts would not be tolerated.

The message is strong and direct: exam malpractices will no longer be overlooked. Dr. Kipsang’s warning signals a renewed effort by the Ministry of Education to protect the value of Kenyan qualifications. As national examinations approach, all eyes will be on examination centers, watching to ensure these standards are upheld.
