Fifteen schools in Bungoma County have failed to pick exams from the exam centres as two national exams began.
The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education and Kenya Primary School Examination Assessment (KPSEA) for Grade Six examinations began on Monday across the country.
Addressing the press at Bungoma DEB primary school on Monday, Bungoma South DCC Duncan Okwach said the exams in Bungoma County have started on a high note despite the 15 schools failing to show up to pick exams.
“I am happy that the exams have started on a high note. We have not experienced any challenges, the police officers are on the watch out to ensure that all the exam guidelines are adhered to,” Okwach said.
Okwach lauded secondary school heads for cooperating well with primary schools and availing their school buses to help in the transportation of exams to schools.
