KCSE Candidate Dies After Exam, Raising Concerns

KCSE Candidate Dies After Exam, Raising Concerns. In a poignant twist of fate during the ongoing KCSE exams, a private candidate in her mid-30s tragically collapsed and passed away at Njenga Karume Secondary School in Molo. Just moments before fainting, she had voiced her discomfort, and subsequently, she was swiftly transported to Molo Sub-County Hospital, where the disheartening pronouncement of her demise was made upon.

Despite her unwavering dedication to post-Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education ambitions, the father of the deceased, a casual worker at Molo Sub-county Hospital, expressed profound shock. He highlighted the absence of any indicators of illness during their lighthearted conversation the previous night. Currently, Molo education officials actively investigate the incident while 27 students participate in the ongoing exam.

In another distressing incident, this time in Trans Nzoia County, a Form Four KCSE candidate fell seriously ill during the commencement of the first examination paper on November 6. Displaying quick and prudent decision-making, the principal promptly facilitated her transfer to Royal Gardens Hospital in Kitale. Following a diagnosis of severe cerebral malaria, the student exhibits remarkable courage as she persists with her exams while concurrently undergoing essential medical treatment.

These disheartening occurrences compel us to reflect on the unpredictable challenges that individuals may encounter, underscoring the paramount importance of prioritizing health and well-being during these critical examination periods.
