Education CS said the government through the Ministry of Education is modernising its assessment tools for visually impaired candidates by integrating Orbit Readers into the KCSE examination process.
This initiative will phase out the traditional Braille machines, aligning Kenya's examination system with global best practices.
Candidates who wish to repeat their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations and those who missed the national test do not have to wait until the end of the year for a re-sit.
This follows an announcement by Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba that the government has introduced a mid-year KCSE examinations series, starting this year.
