Approximately 5000 KCSE and KCPE candidates from Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps are set to miss the 2016 national exam.
This has seen outcry from the refugees and activists.
Garissa Human Rights activist, Zedi Mbadi has urged the government to set a unique repatriation exercise for the candidature families who are set to sit for their exam this year.
"The government should set aside repatriation exercise of refugee candidate children that will allow them to sit for their exam peacefully,’’ said Mbadi.
She raised concern saying the education and lives of such children will be jeopardised.
“Some parents have invested all their efforts into the education of these children whom some are set to sit for their exam come this year,” she added.
Ms Mbadi now calls upon the government to set aside a unique repatriation exercise that will allow the students who will be sitting for the exams this year be given ample time until the end of the exam so that they will be repatriated with their families.
“We are all humans and we understand the extent and effort one puts to be able to sit for their exams especially the refugee children. They should be allowed and given ample time to prepare and finish their exams so that they can be repatriated,’’ said the human rights activist.
