St. Peters Abwao KCSE Results Withheld by KNEC Over Exam Malpractice Claims.
St. Peters Abwao High School, once celebrated for its stellar performance in the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams, now faces uncertainty after the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) withheld its results.
This setback has created a wave of anxiety among the 2024 candidates, who fear their future prospects may be compromised.
On Thursday, January 9, concerned parents assembled at the school, demanding explanations for the withheld results.
The recently appointed principal, Peter Magawe, seemed overwhelmed by the situation and declined to comment on the results, citing his recent arrival at the institution.
Official Confirmation and Investigation
The National Education Director for Migori County, Jacob Onyiego, confirmed that St. Peters Abwao was the only school in the county affected by the results’ suspension.
According to Onyiego, the results were withheld due to suspected exam malpractice at the center. He emphasized the need to give KNEC time to investigate the matter thoroughly, assuring stakeholders that any irregularities uncovered would be dealt with appropriately.
The development has raised concerns among parents and students, compounded by the recent, unexplained transfer of the former principal. Many are questioning whether the leadership changes might be connected to the suspected malpractice.
