NASA leader Raila Odinga had said that the exams can be postponed to give room for the repeat presidential election, which has been sheduled for October 17.
Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi had requested IEBC to hold the election one week before the exams to avoid interrupting exams.
Some schools are used as polling centres and there are teachers who are polling officials.
