It was joy at Kisii School in Kisii
county following the release of 2015 KCSE exam results where all the 381 receive
their results. Parents, students, guardians, education stakeholders, the clergy
and local politicians from within and without Kisii county have saluted the hard
working Principal Casper Maina for a job well done.
The school had an enrolment of 381. “I
am happy that all 381 students received their exams after the 2014 dark moment.
As principal, I do not condone examination malpractices and I have never
believed my students engage in the uncouth practice,” he said.
“It’s now a vindication that this
institution adheres to best practices of examination ethics against what we
have been subjected to before. The number of candidates we had was huge and
producing this magnificent result is a reprieve to both students and dedicated
teachers,” Maina added.
He said that the institution managed
a performance index of 10.0, emerging second after Nyambaria High in the Gusii
region and managed to record the highest number of students who scored a
straight A grade.
“We decided to put the 2014
nightmare behind us and worked for the grades in 2015. We managed a performance
index of 10. 0 and 172 students managed to score grade A, the highest in the
region,” he said.
The school’s 2014 exams were
cancelled but according to Maina, that has not stopped the boys from giving
their best last year. Whereas Maina is known to be a no-nonsense principal; who
does not entertain laziness in the staffroom and who teachers say is a down to
earth man, his managerial skills has helped the school to remain a centre of
academic excellence not only in Kisii county but nationally.
Education stakeholders in Kisii
county have sent warnings to local politicians who have been attempting to drag
Maina’s name in political issues and further warned them to keep off Kisii
school and to let Maina run the school professionally and without political
interference as has been doing.
