Students to collect KCSE certificates from govt offices, not schools – Ogamba
KCPE and KCSE certificates to be collected from Sub County Education office due to concerns over Principals withholding them due to fee balance.
The decision, confirmed by the Ministry of Education, is part of a broader effort to end disputes between learners and school principals over withheld certificates, a challenge that has persisted despite government directives declaring the practice illegal.
For years, thousands of students have been unable to access their KCPE and KCSE certificates due to unpaid school fees, locking them out of job opportunities or further studies.
The new system seeks to eliminate such frustrations once and for all.
The directive came after a question raised in Parliament by Funyula MP Wilberforce Oundo, who sought clarification on why students continue to face difficulties obtaining their certificates.
He challenged the government to adopt a centralised model similar to other digital public services.
