This Monday morning, the major theory examinations for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) formally got underway.
To supervise the distribution of examination materials, Ministry of Education representatives showed up early at several exam collection locations. Approximately 903,260 candidates nationwide who registered for the KCSE this year will begin working on the Chemistry paper on Monday at 8 a.m., followed by the English (functional skills) paper at 2 p.m. English paper 2 (Comprehension, Literary Appreciation, and Grammar) will be written by the students tomorrow, Tuesday, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm.

At the Westlands DCC centre, the exercise was managed by Basic Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang, and at the Mombasa County Mvita centre, Teachers Service Commission (CEO) Nancy Macharia was in charge of distributing the exams. Margaret Lesuuda, the regional director of education for Nairobi, accompanied Kipsang as he urged the exam centre managers to soften their rigorous behaviour toward the students and let them be kids.
