Pia Philip Michael lifted the ban on mock after the poor performance by the pupils during the mock examination.

The Minister blamed the head teachers for poor leadership in their schools and being ignorant about their pedagogy.

He warned the head teacher whose school will not perform well at least by 60 percent in the second test shall be removed from his position.

Mr. Waru announced that the best results came from Garacia with 38 out of 38 pass followed by St. Mary with 42 pass out of 49.

The head teachers blamed the pupils for taking too much leisure without reading their books at home.

They admitted that both teachers and pupils are not doing enough and some schools have difficulties in mathematics and English subjects among others.

Director for examinations, Charles Ikpiro, stated that the mock exams are set from class four to class eight syllabuses to test the capacities of the candidates.
