On October 31, 2019, Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha expressed his satisfaction with the reduced number of pregnant KCPE candidates during the examination period this year.

He noted that the 20 cases of pregnancy among girls sitting the end of primary school test this year was a significant drop from dozens reported last year during the same period.

Magoha attributed this positive outcome to good parenting, stating that it was essential to give credit to parents for continuing to care for their children.

"Taking care of children does not mean giving money to them. The best thing you can give to your child is your time. Because your time is part of your life," Prof Magoha said while overseeing the examinations at Mtito Andei Primary School in Makueni County.

He also oversaw the test at Muthungue Primary School in Makueni County, emphasizing the government's commitment to delivering an examination without hitches.
