A candidate who was sitting her Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations at Boro Secondary School died on Tuesday after a sudden illness.
With only a day left to complete her exams, the candidate reportedly fell ill on Monday evening after she had returned home.
She was immediately rushed to Siaya County Referral Hospital.
According to Siaya County Director of Education Mr. Mbugua Kabaki, the girl’s mother reported the matter to the school administration Tuesday to request if arrangements could be made for her to be brought her remaining paper at the hospital.
This prompted the school principal to visit the hospital, where the administrator found her placed on oxygen support as the situation had worsened.
Mr. Kabaki added that the principal then advised the supervisor not to bring the paper and unfortunately after a few hours, the hospital called the Principal to report that the candidate had passed on.
The County Director of Education said before the sudden illness, the girl had a history of poor health through the third term of school.
