Officials Tackle KCSE Marking Strike, Fake Degrees, and Graduate Skills - December 2025

Over 800 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examiners marking English Paper 2 at Mary Hills Girls' High School have gone on strike due to unpaid coordination allowances. In a separate incident, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Commission for University Education (CUE) halted a graduation ceremony in Changamwe, Mombasa, after discovering the institution lacked accreditation to award degrees. Meanwhile, during the University of Nairobi's 74th Graduation Ceremony, Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba challenged the 4,504 graduates to embrace innovation, entrepreneurship, and emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence.
