"This is a serious breach which wrongfully disenfranchises learners. Appropriate action will therefore be taken against those responsible, in accordance with the law," he stated.

Machogu observed that being the last cohort of candidates to sit for the examination after 38 years of KCPE, no learner will be left out.

"Since this is the last KCPE exam, learners shall not be disadvantaged by exclusion from the examination, on account of non-registration," Machogu said, as he directed that all learners to report to their respective schools where they will sit the papers.

"All affected learners are advised to report to their respective schools/designated examination centres for purposes of sitting the examination on the scheduled dates."

In the past, several Standard Eight and Form Four candidates have been denied the chance to write examinations after school managers failed to register them for the tests.
