    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, to date, the equation criteria for the two main foreign exam boards—Pearson Edexcel and International Baccalaureate—have been developed and are being implemented. Cambridge International, which is also a major exam board operating in Kenya, is in the process of submitting documents for evaluation. Two, the Ministry of Education undertakes measures to facilitate equation of certificates and diplomas obtained from international schools in the country thereby allowing these students access to local university admissions and public sector employment opportunities. Three, is on the actions taken by the Ministry of Education to address challenges students of international curricula impacted by the KNEC face. As indicated above, the High Court nullified the legal provision that has been preventing KNEC from equating certificates and other diplomas obtained from schools offering international curricula. Consequently, KNEC is now working with examination bodies and other stakeholders to develop criteria for equation. As noted earlier, for examination bodies for which the criteria have been developed, KNEC is already undertaking equation. We are working with other exam bodies to develop the criteria for the equation in respect of their certificates and diplomas. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
