Ministry of Education to Release KCSE 2024 Exam Cheating and Malpractice Statistics Next Week.

The Ministry of Education is set to unveil detailed statistics on malpractice and cheating incidents in the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams next week, following the exams’ conclusion on November 22.

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos stated that the report will provide insights into the prevalence and types of malpractices observed during the exams, with multiple cases already under investigation.

The Ministry has reported numerous instances of exam cheating across various counties, with several adults arrested for their involvement.

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogama emphasized that adults, not students, were primarily responsible for orchestrating these cheating schemes.

Ogama noted that the arrests made thus far mainly implicate adults, pointing to an organized effort to facilitate unauthorized access to exams rather than student-driven cheating.

Notable Cases in Homabay and Other Counties

One of the most significant cases emerged in Homabay County, where individuals were detained for allegedly obtaining unauthorized access to exam papers, raising concerns about the integrity of security measures.

Other regions, including Kisii and Kakamega Counties, reported cases involving individuals found with leaked exam materials, impersonation, and unauthorized assistance to students.

While the exams proceeded without any direct threats, there were isolated security incidents. For instance, students in insecure areas like Tana River were relocated to safer, central locations to ensure they could take their exams uninterrupted.

The Ministry clarified that these security measures were due to existing local issues, unrelated to the exam process itself.

This year’s KCSE features enhanced security measures to curb malpractice, including the customization of each exam paper with the candidate’s name, index number, and personal details.

This approach aims to ensure accountability, making it possible to directly link any instances of cheating to the individual involved rather than implicating the school or exam center.

As the Ministry prepares to release the report next week, stakeholders and the public await further details on the scale of the issue and the steps being taken to safeguard the integrity of Kenya’s national examinations.
