Three hundred and eighty-one students from Kisii School who sat for their 2015 Kenya Certificate of Secondary School Education will receive their results, school principal Casper Maina has confirmed.
The school had an enrolment of 381; the highest in the former Nyanza province after the results of 2014 candidates was nullified following alleged cases of examination malpractices, compelling 190 students to re-sit for their exams.
Mr Maina, who was speaking in his office on Thursday moments after receiving the results, hailed the class of 2015 for adhering to the examination ethics.
“I am happy that all 381 students will receive their exams after the 2014 dark moment. As principal, I do not condone examination malpractices and I have never believed my students engage in the uncouth practice,” he said.
“It’s now a vindication that this institution adheres to best practices of examination ethics against what we have been subjected to before. The number of candidates we had was huge and producing this magnificent result is a reprieve to both students and dedicated teachers,” Maina added.
He said that the institution managed a performance index of 10.0, emerging second after Nyambaria High in the Gusii region and managed to record the highest number of students who scored a straight A grade.
“We decided to put the 2014 nightmare behind us and worked for the grades in 2015. We managed a performance index of 10. 0 and 172 students managed to score grade A, the highest in the region,” he said.
