The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has issued a stern warning to parents and guardians to stay vigilant against fraudsters peddling false promises of altering Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results. This alert comes just a day after the release of the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) results.
Fake Result Alteration Schemes Exposed
In a photo obtained by MwalimuSasa, KNEC categorically labels such claims as fraudulent. The examination body has provided detailed insights into how these scams operate, aiming to educate the public and prevent them from falling prey to such schemes.
According to KNEC, the fraudsters exploit the anxiety of parents and candidates who are eagerly waiting for the announcement of KCSE results. They falsely claim to have insider access to modify grades and demand hefty payments for their “services.” However, KNEC stresses that these claims are baseless and illegal, emphasizing that KCSE results remain secure and cannot be manipulated.
Protect Yourself: Key Takeaways
To safeguard yourself and your loved ones from these scams, KNEC advises the following:
- Ignore Any Offers to Alter Results: KNEC does not engage in any form of grade alteration.
- Verify Official Information: Always rely on official communication channels from KNEC for updates.
- Report Fraudulent Activities: If you encounter such claims, report them to law enforcement or KNEC immediately.
Why Vigilance Matters
This warning highlights the importance of vigilance, especially during the period leading up to KCSE result releases. Fraudsters thrive on the desperation and hope of unsuspecting victims, but by staying informed and cautious, parents can avoid unnecessary financial losses and emotional distress.
KNEC continues to work tirelessly to ensure the integrity of national examinations and the safety of candidates’ results. Let us join hands in supporting these efforts by refusing to entertain or engage with fraudulent schemes.
