Teachers found engaging in exam cheating will be arrested and charged, says Magoha
Schools known for cheating according to the Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha will be under strict scrutiny from education officials as candidates are urged to avoid being caught in the vice.
He has put notice on teachers who are plotting to help Form Four candidates cheat in the KCSE exams.
Speaking in Kisumu’s Manyatta Primary School the CS said that he is aware that some schools have plans that some teachers are planning to write exams that begin on Friday on behalf of the candidates.
“We will not allow anybody to play around with the future of our children,” Magoha said on Wednesday at Manyatta Primary School in Kisumu county.
He noted that they are closely monitoring such centres and warned that teachers found engaging in exam malpractice will be arrested and charged.
He also said that the government released Sh7.5 billion to secondary schools in preparation for the forthcoming Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination scheduled to begin on Friday.
The second phase of disbursement will see the remaining 50 per cent channelled into the school accounts in April.
Magoha also assured personnel who would be involved in the process of their payment on time.
