23 Students Discovered Taking Fake KPSEA Exams at Unregistered School in Uasin Gishu.
On October 30, authorities uncovered shocking news at Silver Bells Academy in Moiben, Uasin Gishu County: 23 students were caught sitting for fake KPSEA exams in an unregistered school. This alarming situation came to light after a concerned parent reported irregular exam timings. The incident has sparked an investigation into the school’s practices and its failure to follow official registration protocols for the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA).
A vigilant parent initiated this investigation after noticing that students at Silver Bells Academy consistently began their exams later than the official schedule. The delay raised suspicions, prompting the parent to contact the police. Following the tip-off, Moiben Deputy County Commissioner Duncan Okwach ordered an inspection of the institution.
Authorities discovered that neither Silver Bells Academy nor its students were officially registered for the KPSEA exams. Investigators found photocopied exam sheets in place of the legitimate KPSEA documents. “Neither the school nor its students were officially enrolled to take the KPSEA exams,” Commissioner Okwach confirmed, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. This discovery has put the school’s administration under scrutiny as officials seek answers regarding the fraudulent exam papers.
