ENTRY UNIVERSITY EXAM TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY 2022 KCSE CANDIDATES-EXPEETS

2022 KCSE Candidates To Take Entry Exams Before Joining Universities, Experts Advise

Following the rising cases of cheating in the National Examinations, a team of experts have suggested that student who join universities to be subjected to entry exams to determine whether they really earned that grade.

This comes barely a week ago since the Education CS, Ezekiel Machogu and his Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) counterpart David Njengere were grilled by the parliamentary education committee on allegations that the 2022 KCSE exams were married with irregularities.

Some schools have set up CCTV cameras in exam halls that needs to catch candidates red-handed. It has been discovered that as much as the cameras are there, many students still cheat as they don’t carry the leakage physically to the exam room.

This proposal has been put forward by experts as a way of separating those who cheated in exams and those who genuinely scored their grades.
This comes at a time when many students are placed in courses that they don’t have the potential to handle and end up being discontinued from university due to a series of failures in the core units.

The experts argued that the entry exam will not only intend to ascertain a student’s deep understanding of the subjects in question but will also save the government from funding students who don’t merit and hence save the government funds that will be diverted to other sectors.

The experts elaborated that many students drop on the way due to the difficulty of the professional course where they resort to take alternative courses which are cheaper and within their potential.

These students they not only drop on their own volition but universities discontinue them because they are unable to satisfy the University Senate requirements.

It’s 50 years since America withdrew from the Vietnam War and stopped bombing Laos.

But the war’s legacy has left the country littered with unexploded bombs and explosive remnants of war - or UXO as they're often called.

Laos, today a country of just six million people, remains the most heavily bombed country in the world per capita.

More than 20,000 people there have been killed or injured by UXO since the war ended in 1975, and it's still happening today.
