The Board of Management (BOM) of Sing'ore Girls High School in Elgeyo Marakwet County has protested against 2018 KCSE results that was announced on Friday by education Cs Amina Mohamed when the school managed a 4.8 mean score.
"I don't want to believe the results. There is no way students with consistent academic results from Form One to Four can post such results in KCSE," said Mwangi Muia, school's Parents Teachers Association (PTA) Chairman.
Last year 2017, the school emerged top school nationally with a score of 9.690 which raised the girl’s school high while the other institutions dwindled across the country.
The school BOM said the results did not reflect the academic abilities of its 350 Form Four candidate who sat for their exams this year observing that there was no way a school with a consistent history in posting impressive performance could sink with a dismal mean of 4.89 points.
Board chairman John Chemweno said that the candidates will be summoned to be counseled along with their parent and guardians so that they accept and move on.
“The school will also liaise with Ministry of Education with a view to give the candidates a chance to reseat the examination,” Chemweno added.
It is reported that was over-deployment of police officers during the examination period, an incident that is alleged might have consequently affected students’ performance.
