00:18 >> Yeah, we have dropout who have appeared.
00:20 Like today as we were sitting here, I was told a girl who dropped
00:24 out of a primary school has just appeared ready to do exams and very pregnant.
00:30 So we have such cases, ones who dropped out even in first term and they have now reappeared
00:36 and we have been told to ensure that all of them do the exams.
00:39 So we've given that direction to head teachers.
00:42 Any student who appears should be given the exam today.
00:46 Nothing is spoiled.
00:47 The exams are securely sealed in carton boxes.
00:51 So once the exam begins is when they'll open and give us a report and we'll go
00:55 around monitoring to see how it's going on.
00:58 But with primary school exams, we normally don't have any issues.
