The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has raised significant concerns regarding the safety of both teachers and students during the national examination period.
With the exams approaching, KNUT is urging the government and relevant authorities to implement enhanced security measures to create a safe environment for all involved. This call for increased security is rooted in worries about potential disruptions and threats that could arise during this critical time.
KNUT’s leadership emphasizes that a secure examination setting is vital for students to focus and perform at their best.
The pressures associated with national exams are already high, and any additional fear or intimidation can adversely affect student performance. The union is advocating for comprehensive security protocols, including the presence of law enforcement officials at examination centers, to deter any disruptions.
Furthermore, KNUT is also concerned about the well-being of teachers who supervise these exams. Ensuring their safety is equally important, as they play a crucial role in facilitating the examination process. The union believes that addressing these security concerns will not only protect students and teachers but also uphold the integrity of the examination system itself.
