Education CS Fred Matiangi has said that the ministry will not sit back as unscrupulous private schools steal from the unsuspecting public.
Speaking on Thrsday during the release of the 2016 KCSE results, the CS said that these schools have been using pupils for their own gain.
He said that the method of subjecting the children to exams were skewed and would always instill an inferiority complex in the children.
"You cannot use our children for your own gains; in a selfish, greedy way. One child will grow up with the stigma that people think they are not smart," he said.
Matiangi also said that schools have been cheating in the exams to ensure they register high results in the ranking.
"Some private schools have been registering two centres in one school. We will never again have private centres where people do exams behind shops," he said.
Added that these schools have been presenting one centre with as less as 21 students "so that their mean can go up. That nonsense will end today."
