Principal Secretary for University Education and Research Amb. Simon Nabukwesi applauded the conduct of the candidates in the ongoing Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams.

The PS noted that no candidate had committed professional misconduct on the exam since the exercise began on the second day of the second week.

Addressing candidates at Lions High School in Kisumu County, the PS called on candidates to stay focused until the exams are over and to avoid laxity and destructive behavior that can derail their dreams of getting the best. results.

He reminded applicants that the results of Form Four will only determine their immediate future, as it dictates the move to the next level of education by joining a university, college or technical training institution.

“I encourage you on behalf of the Department of Education to maintain your focus and avoid activities that will distract your focus to get you the best,” he told those taking the exams.

The PS also asked applicants to ensure that they carefully select the university courses they wish to take to enable them to obtain a placement through the Kenya Universities and College Central Placement Service (KUUCCPS) as well as benefit from government funding through the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB).

Amb. Nabukwesi was speaking to Kisumu when he oversaw the opening and distribution of today’s KCSE exam papers.
