Karumo Technical Training Institute has once again pulled a surprise by producing this year’s best student in Kenya Accountants and Secretaries National Examinations Board (KASNEB) exams in the entire East Africa region.
This comes a year after the little-known institution tacked in the interior of the semi-arid Tigania West Sub-County, was named the best performing tertiary institution from a list of 135 other institutions in the country for the 2021/2022 financial year.
Speaking to Kenya News Agency (KNA), the best student, Elijah Mumo said he knew he would do well in the Management Accounting examination, which is the last one in the Diploma level 3, he didn’t expect to emerge as the best student in the region.
“I got an email congratulating me for success and at the same time inviting me to an award ceremony at KCA University which took place on November 9 this year. This was the time that I knew I had performed exemplary well and I thank God for the favour,” said Mumo.
He said the feeling that he had succeeded in the examination was and is still good and was also expecting to excel the same way at his current Certified Public Accountant (CPA) level.
“I am usually good in computations which accounts for 70 percent of the exam but was not sure what I would score in the theory part which accounts for the remaining 30 percent.”
“Though they didn’t give me a specific score, I am sure I got a good mark in all the sections to make me the best student among my colleagues from Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, and my own country Kenya,” said Mr Mumo.
Mr Mumo is currently enrolled in a CPA intermediate-level course in the same institution.
Mumo’s trainer Collins Kirimi said he was lucky to have a student for level three of the Accounting Technician Diploma of the management accounting subject who in addition posted impressive performance.
By the performance, he added, Mumo will inspire more students to walk in his path since he had already proved to them that it was possible.
“If you hear a student has emerged top in a certain subject, it means he is top of all those students who sat for a paper in all those countries where KASNEB exams are administered,” said Kirimi.
Though he was unaware of the total number of students which is a reserve for KASNEB, Kirimi said there must have been many students who registered for the same paper from the five countries offering the examinations.
On her side, School Principal Ms Florah Kanyua said their institution was proud of the student because out of the many students who sat the examination, he managed to be position one.
She attributed this to the discipline among the students and commitment from trainers who were ready to help the learners where necessary.
“Discipline, hard work, and commitment from both learners and trainers are some factors that have made us realise high pass rates. As we speak now our school has a mean score of 82 percent which is quite high considering the number of candidatures, we had in the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) July series,” said Ms Kanyua.
She added: “As an institution we also embrace teamwork and through this we can assist our students, and trainers are also able to assist one another, and that way we can achieve our targets.”
She encouraged parents to take their children to such institutions regardless of the grade they scored in their secondary school examinations adding that they will end up being moulded into important people in the future.
