The Kitengela International School, which rejected this year’s KCPE results is optimistic the Kenya National Examination Council will act positively on their petition.

The school’s Headteacher John Wanyonyi told the Star on Friday he spent the entire Thursday at the KNEC headquarters and he is happy his matter was received and acknowledged well.

“The matter has been received and acknowledged by the KNEC and follow-up has commenced. We should expect to hear from them between Friday, today and December 29,” said Wanyonyi.

The school rejected the results of this year’s KCPE saying it does not reflect its performance and how hard it had prepared for the exams.

Wanyonyi, however, could not reveal the points of contention or the results the school received.

Parents of the students in the school who pay more than Sh500,000 for tuition and other activities annually are putting pressure on the administration in demanding answers.

Wanyonyi on Thursday claimed the school never cheated in the examination and wondered why the KNEC “treated” his institution like so.

Although the Headteacher is not sure what decision will be taken by KNEC, he remained optimistic that something positive will come out before December 29.

Parents and guardians have been urged by the school to put the matter before God so that positive action will be taken by the KNEC.

The top school has been performing extremely well in national examinations annually.
