In a high-stakes ruling, a teacher from Kunyak High School was granted release on a Ksh 500,000 cash bail by a Kericho Court following allegations of involvement in KCSE (Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education) examination malpractice. The teacher, whose name remains undisclosed, faced serious accusations tied to unethical practices that allegedly compromised the integrity of the ongoing national exams.
Appearing in court, the educator denied all charges, asserting innocence amid claims of collusion and examination tampering at the school. The incident has raised alarms across the education sector, with the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) emphasizing zero tolerance toward any form of misconduct during the national exams.
This case highlights ongoing challenges in maintaining examination standards, with authorities vowing stricter monitoring and harsher penalties for offenders. As the KCSE exams progress, the public is watching closely, with education stakeholders demanding accountability and fair play.
