23 candidates sitting for the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA), which commenced on Monday, October 28, have sat for fake exams.
The candidates at Silver Bells Academy in Kimumu, Uasin Gishu County sat for the fake exams since Monday, October 28.
It was revealed that the school has not been registered by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC).
At the same time Moiben Deputy County Commissioner, Kuasi Duncan, stated that the students were not registered for the examinations.
The school headteacher and the directors have been administering examinations to the students, falsely claiming that they are from KNEC.
“Yesterday, while we were sealing the exam container, a parent reported discrepancies in this school, noting that the pupils were delayed in taking their exams and the exam papers looked different. The school has been pretending to take KPSEA exams but there are no exams ongoing,” he said.
“The school has not been registered, and the children here have also not been registered to sit for the exams.”
Additionally, it was uncovered that the school had photocopied the exam papers that the candidates were sitting for.
The principal and the directors of the institution have been arrested by the police.
