The government could ban the sitting of mock examinations in secondary schools across the country.
This follows the proposition by various fronts as fear of the examination has been pointed out as one of the reasons why there has been increased unrest by students.
Some of the students have been under the misguided notions that the results of the exams -deemed tough by many- could have an effect on the results of their Kenya Certificate of Secondary School Education (KCSE) results.
In the past four months, Kenya has seen a wave of riots and strikes by secondary school students.
Most of the students have gone as far as set dormitories on fire to ensure they are sent home and as some explain- to make sure they do not get to sit the mock examinations.
Property worth immeasurable value has been destroyed as a result of the unrests, causing chaos in the education sector.
During a stakeholders meeting at at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development on Thursday, recommendations to ban the exams were made as a way to contain the worrying situation.
Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi who chaired the meeting said he would implement the recommendations.
He, however, did not specify when exactly the ban would be effected.
