Ministry of Education prohibits these exams in all schools
By implementing a prohibition on mock and joint examinations in educational institutions, the Ministry of Education, under the direction of Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang, has taken a brave move to address worries about classroom discontent. This choice seeks to address the problem at hand directly.
In order to prevent interruptions to the academic calendar, the government has issued a strict recommendation to schools advising them to forgo holding inter-school exams. This ban was developed following long discussions with the Special Investigation Team and the Parliamentary Committee on Education, both of which were led by David Koech and Claire Omollo, respectively.
The Kenya Secondary School Heads Association (KESSHA) has urged for additional measures to enforce discipline in the educational system and expressed full support for the prohibition on joint mock exams. Additionally, KESSHA has expressed concerns regarding the commercialization of mock tests by some schools, highlighting the necessity of extensive reforms.

The Ministry of Education intends to develop Continuous Assessment Tests (CATs) as an alternative to mock exams in order to allay worries over assessment commercialization. A fair and uniform evaluation system will be implemented as a result of this action in all educational institutions.
The government’s decision to outlaw mock and joint exams has prompted a range of responses from the general people. It is critical to take into account how this ban would affect the educational community in the long run. The idea to replace mock tests with CATs aims to allay worries about fairness and commercialisation.
Your comments will have a big impact on how we talk about the education system now and how we might change it in the future.
