    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask Question Number 238 of 2021 to the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Research. (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the circumstances which led the Kenya National Examinations Council to issue a circular dated 11th and 28th June, 2021 directing both private and public schools with less than forty (40) candidates - which they have adjusted to 30 - to be hosted by an examination centre with more than thirty (30) candidates during the 2021 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary clarify whether the Ministry consulted education stakeholders, such as the Kenya Private Schools Association and the Parents Associations - and also the parents - considering that such swift change of policy directions may inconvenience thousands of learners during the examination period since subjecting them to a new environment may affect their performance? (iii) What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure that increased numbers of learners in examination rooms would not compromise the quality of education and/or lead to cheating during examinations? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
