Kitengela International School has maintained that the results of the 2022 KCPE exams do not reflect its tradition.
In an interview with the Star, the school maintained that they have been performing well for several years adding that the results they received for this year do not reflect their efforts and that of their students.
Shantel Mueti Ndinda was the top pupil in 2021 KCPE at the Kitengela International School after scoring 426 marks.
Ndinda, according to the school’s Headteacher John Wanyonyi, was positioned 3 countrywide.
“We registered a mean score of 403 that year and we have been consistent in producing the highest mean score in the country in previous KCPE results,” said Wanyonyi.
The school, which rejected this year’s KCPE results is optimistic the Kenya National Examination Council will act positively on their petition.
Wanyonyi told the Star on Friday that 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 high-cost school in the country 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.
