Published on December 20, 2019, Kisii County in Kenya has once again been marred by exam cheating scandals.
At least 380 students who sat the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam in the county have had their results cancelled due to irregularities, with many of the cases linked to cheating.
According to Prof Henry Onderi, the County Education Board Chairman, the students have 'Ys' in their results, which denotes that the candidate was involved in an exam irregularity.
The irregularities sanctioned by the examining body include carrying unauthorised materials, collusion, and engaging in various forms of cheating.
At Moteiribe Secondary School in Kisii, 77 students have been affected, while at Emesa AIC, 22 out of 217 students have missed out on their results.
Emesa AIC has been affected for the second year in a row, with none of the school's candidates receiving their results last year.
At Nyabisase SDA Mixed School, a whopping 285 students have been affected, with only 32 having their results out of 317 candidates that sat the national exam.
The chemistry paper had irregularities at Nyabisase, while it was the history paper at Emesa and the physics paper at Moteiribe.
