Candidates urged not to lose hope over poor KCPE results

Students who sat this year's Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams have been urged not to give up hope of a better future even if they did not perform well.

Solai MCA aspirant Kelvin Waweru made the appeal in his backyard on Thursday after education CS Dr Matiangi announced this year KCPE results. He has urged students not to be downcast or turn to antisocial conduct if the just released results fail to live up to their expectations.

Waweru commonly known as Kel Wesh argued that there was life after primary school and that there were alternative training venues such as polytechnics where students who fail to join secondary schools over low marks could go to.

At the same time, he challenged parents not to turn the heat on their children who did not perform well and instead counsel them adding that if mistreated then such children could harm themselves or disappear from home.
