By OUMA WANZALA More by this AuthorEducation Cabinet Secretary (CS) George Magoha announced Tuesday that national examinations will not take place this year as the Covid-19 pandemic has rendered the school calendar lost. As such, CS Magoha said, Standard Eight and Form Four students who were to sit the exams this year will do so in 2021. “Stakeholders have shelved the initial proposal to reopen schools in September for Standard Eight and Form Four candidates,” he said. He added, however, that the decision will be reviewed if the daily count of Covid-19 cases reduces within 14 days. The move is considered risky as the daily Covid-19 statistics for the last few days have been alarming.
