TSC summons six principals over exam cheating
At Chalbi Boys High School in Marsabit County, Principal Boya Paul Halake was interdicted for negligence of duty. The supervisor was also interdicted for allegedly colluding with the principal and invigilators to allocate extra time for candidates, against examination rules. The four invigilators were warned. Early this year, students of the school, mainly repeaters, beat up “non-local” teachers on claims that they were behind results cancellation after “reporting the collusion to the Kenya National Examinations Council”.

Massive collusion

At the school, Knec said it found massive collusion during English Paper 2 and Physics Paper 1, leading to cancellation of results for 70 candidates in the centre At St Cecilia Girls in West Pokot, Knec investigations reported another massive collusion during English Paper 2, Biology Paper 2 and Physics Paper 1, leading to cancellation of results for 320 candidates in the centre. After investigations, nine invigilators were warned administratively for negligence of duty for not being vigilant during administration of the exams.  “Students managed to talk to each other, received assistance from each other and had unauthorised material in the form of tissue paper in the examination room which the students used to circulate the responses among themselves,” a TSC report says. There was massive collusion during English Paper 2 and Physics Paper 1 leading to cancellation of results for 162 candidates at the centre. Additionally, two deputy centre managers, two supervisors and 16  invigilators received warning letters over negligence of duty.
