Lobby groups pushing for special exams for expectant candidates may have to wait longer following remarks by Kenya National Examination Council boss.
Prof George Magoha dismissed the request as 'ill intended', adding that it could escalate cases of pregnancy in schools.
This year alone, over 100 cases of candidates giving birth both in KCSE and KCPC were reported, further rattling education bosses.
"Stop crying foul (over special exams). Parents have a sole responsibility in taking care of their children and that must be done.
"Let's stop these myopic activism. It's unwelcome, just go to hell. We must bring sanity in our education system," he added.
Over one million sat for KCPE exams that saw the top candidate emerging with 453 marks, a drop of two points from last year's edition.
Education CS Amina Mohammed also dismissed administering of special examination, insisting that its sole responsibility of parents to guide their children.
"Parents should ensure children are safe especially this holiday. That's their role and nobody can run away," she added.
