The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has stepped up the multi-urgency push against cheating in the 2018 national examinations just a week after a strong team to coordinate the exercise was launched. Chief Executive Nancy Mancharia yesterday wrote to all the 300,000-plus teachers directing them to immediately start preparations to administer the examinations with esteem vigilance and precisionIn a circular to all secondary school principals, primary school head teachers and classroom staff dated August 10, Macharia said there was no room for error in the running of the examinations. “TSC relies on all teachers to ensure the successful completion of the forthcoming national examinations,” Macharia said in the statement entitled Integrity of National Examinations.
“However, your efforts in moulding the candidates and the enormous investments by parents, Government and other stakeholders in this regard may not come to fruition if the integrity of the national examinations is not safeguarded,” she added.
