Amina sends goodwill message to candidates BY ALICE GWORO , KNA-NAIROBI E ducation Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed has sent a goodwill message to all 2018 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education and Kenya certificate of Primary Education candidates ahead of their examinations. In her goodwill message last Friday, Mohamed told students that she had no doubts that on their own and with the support of their teachers, parents or guardians, they have worked very hard and will certainly excel in their exams. “Your learning experience of eight years of primary and four years of secondary education, has effectively prepared you for these examinations,” she said, further encouraging them to walk into the examination centres with the same confidence and enthusiasm they showed during their years in school. The CS assured candidates that each one of them is naturally endowed with a combination of intelligence and character that makes them special and valued in the society, adding that examinations assess some and not all of what makes everyone unique.
