Hi all,
We are all doing well,and the children resumed their classes today(L.C.) while,Kile,opened yesterday,they were all in good health and were excited to be back to school. As i informed earlier,that,the class eight results were out,and Kileleshwa got only four subject,i gave you the website of Knec,and i m sure,you got their scores, Due to the above info,the Headmistress, and Board of governors, had to follow up with the Ministry,and yesterday, we got the short text messages to attend the meeting at 10.30 am. The meeting was chaired by the Chairman of the school,who is the Professor of the Nairobi University.
There were only two agendas,that was discussed
1 - A report from the Ministry and
2 - A way forward for the affected students
Back to point number one,Knec(Kenya National Examination Council),were told,there was collusion,they strongly believed that,they saw from the computer when they marked the subject,which was Social Studies, Investigations done,but,no truth has been found,neither from the invigilators,the in charge of the center,police officer on duty,nor students, This has been left hanging,though,investigation still in process, NOTE;, Note only Kileleshwa school was affected,so many did not get their results,some,the entire subjects,others, Kiswahili subject,and so on, The parents reactions were bitter,wanted to go for demonstration to the Ministry to demand for results as one of the school in Mombasa did after their results were dismissed ,but,this was not necessary,because,it will affect the students even the more,but still more has to be done and parents be told the truth as to what happened on that material day, The second agenda also was discussed in details,thus,Ministry commended that,those students,who did not scored 50 marks and above,should repeat the class,so that,they get their all results for 5 subjects, If it were that,they cheated,they would have been given a penalty of 2 years before re-writing the exam,but,the board and headmistress,were told to enroll students in the same class with immediate effect, Now,back to our students,they were below average,due to Social study grades,they could have done well,but,their marks now,that has no Social grades,can not allow them to join high school, Alfred and i spoke to James tis morning,counseled him and has accepted to re-write,but,we can not reach the two other boys for comments, Parents asked,if they can use the Mock results,which they also did well to enroll their students to high school,but,it will not be possible at all,the only option is to repeat the class, Let me get comments from above as you will take time to speak to their sponsors,and let us know before too late for them to miss the chance.
Thanking you in advance,
Evelyn
