The Ministry of Education will change strategies employed to curb examination cheating in subsequent years.

 Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang  said the strategies would likely shift from strict supervision as experienced this year to streamlining of the general examination system.

 “We have learned a lot from this year’s supervision experience. We need to sustain the momentum by all of us playing our roles as expected, then there will be no more supervision as this one,” he said. Speaking at St.

 Mathias Boys High School in Busia County during examination supervision, Mr Kipsang said there was need for general sanity to be restored in the country’s education sector.

Kipsang added that this year’s examinations had experienced highest integrity that will give Kenyan education competitiveness globally.
