Prior to the KCSE and KAPSEA tests, Ruto promises security.
As youngsters get ready for their national exams starting next week, President William Ruto has reassured the public that sufficient security measures are in place.
According to Ruto, all the preparations have been completed by the Ministries of Interior and Education to guarantee that the important process goes well.
He declared, “As a government, we want to reassure our children that there is sufficient security, adequate supervision, and all the invigilators are in place.”
The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) reports that 1,303, 913 applicants will take the KPSEA in 35, 573 centers, while 965,501 candidates will take the KCSE in 10,565 centers.
With this, there are now 2,279,414 candidates nationwide.
Ruto also wished the nominees well as they take the tests during his remarks as the chair of the Presidential Awards-Kenya (PA-K) ceremony at State House.
“My warmest regards. “May God grant them wisdom, strength, and grace,” he pleaded on behalf of everyone.
“Knowing that the prayers of their parents and all of us are on them as we guide and mentor them into the future,” he encouraged them to take the tests seriously.
Approximately 1,517 youths, aged 14 to 24, from a variety of educational institutions, including colleges and universities, received awards during the ceremony.
The group represents 2,397 individuals nationwide who have been recognized for the program’s highest number of gold awards.
Through the non-formal education and learning framework PA-K, the accomplishments of young people outside of the classroom are acknowledged and honored.
The primary goal is to prepare them for life by motivating them to develop lifelong talents that will enable them to prosper.
Engaging in activities such as helping in their communities, staying physically active, and finding a sense of adventure outside of the classroom are ways that students develop the universal skills.
In 1966, PA-K was introduced in Kenya.
In more than 140 countries, it is part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, which manages the Award Program.
His Royal Highness (HRH), the Duke of Edinburgh KG, KT, established the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award in 1956 in collaboration with Sir John Hunt and German educationalist Kurt Hahn.
Over the years, the Award has expanded its reach, influencing the lives of more than 121,000 youth in more than 1,000 educational institutions, colleges, youth organizations, rehabilitation facilities, and open Award centers nationwide.
He requested that the relevant ministry assist the board and management in making sure that more young people nationwide take part in it “so that we can have developed their character and skills” to help them advance and succeed.
Prior to the KCSE and KAPSEA tests, Ruto promises security.
