KCPE and KCSE candidates could wait a year to sit their exams because of the Covid-19 nightmare that has severely disrupted the academic calendar. Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha on Thursday said the earliest the candidates can have the national exams is April 2021, but only if schools reopen in September as planned. The CS regretted that the virus cases are still surging and it remains unclear whether it would be possible to reopen the schools. “In terms of the new calendar, the government has to consider the latest time that we can reopen schools is and still do the exams,” Magoha said. “We want to tell government agencies the kind of masks we need for our children and teachers,” the CS said.
