Exam Miscarriage or Premature birth?




Yes, the National Examinations KCSE has been leaked since the day it started, that’s no longer a secret anymore. Students have been dreaming and picturing the success they will finally celebrate and enjoy when the resulted will be released early next year.

The big question however being asked in every part of the country is; who is responsible for the leakage? Who will carry the blame?  This has however made the examination and education bodies to distant themselves denying the existence of such a malpractice.  The education minister Prof; Jacob Kaimenyi has come out chest forward with a word of total denial on the same. The examination council CEO has also denied any existence of exams leakage giving it a clean bill of health. All the blame has now been shifted the mobile phone technology and watsapp application which is the center of exams leakage. The watsapp application is widely used by the youths and some older people with the age of my grandfather who has refused to accept old age and that technology passed them a long time ago.

To bring the point home, I tend to equate teachers to a pregnant mother who is almost giving birth, the candidates as the unborn child and the government being a ruthless husband. The government (husband) has recently been seen mistreating the teachers (wife) by exposing them to strikes and again denying them their salaries at a time where they were almost giving birth to healthy babies (students). The mistreatment will either lead to a serious miscarriage if the exams will be cancelled and rescheduled, and if that doesn’t happen then it will lead to a premature birth where the students are going to come out ‘successful’ exam thieves who will eventually land on a premature entry to the university who will in turn come out as non resourceful and incompetent fellas.

To the parents, I know such sends cold jitters in your bodies and mind confusing as to why this happens at such a time when you are waiting to see the results of all the labor and finances invested in your children. At least a word of comfort is that you have done your part and the rest remains the responsibility of the concerned parties, students and finally for believers, that God intervenes in such a situation.
