School heads propose exam ban for unruly learners

The Kenya Secondary School Heads Association is proposing that learners who cause unrest in schools be barred from sitting national exams and that their names be struck off the Kenya National Examinations Council register. Speaking in Mombasa at the 49th Secondary School Heads Association Conference, National Chairman Willie Kuria said the association is recommending the adjustment of candidate registration schedules to reduce tension among candidates. Kuria also ruled out converting all boarding schools to day schools. More than 7,000 school heads are attending the conference, which officially kicks off on Tuesday.
