Education Cabinet Secretary cancels KCPE, KCSE exams as Covid-19 bites

Education Cabinet Secretary (CS) George Magoha announced Tuesday that national examinations will not take place this year as the Covid-19 pandemic has rendered the school calendar lost. Standard Eight and Form Four students who were to sit the exams this year will do so in 2021. The minister also announced that all basic learning institutions will re-open in January next year, as that is when the virus curve is expected to have flattened.
