Following the announcement of the 2022 KCSE exams earlier this year, allegations of exam malpractice were rife.
The National Assembly Education Committee then moved to probe the allegations on January 27 this year
The committee found that exam malpractices in the 2022 KSCE included collusion to share answers, use of mobile phones in exam rooms, impersonation, smuggling of unauthorised written material, leakage, and plagiarism among other techniques.
Currently, Knec is working to ensure there will be no cases of malpractice in the 2023 national exams.
