Aisaik Secondary School in Bomet Central sub-county, Bomet County, set a shining example on Friday when its Form Four candidates conducted a comprehensive clean-up of the institution shortly after completing their final KCSE examination.
At a time when incidents of unruly behaviour by candidates have been reported in various parts of the country, the Aisaik students chose a different path—one of discipline, responsibility, and service.
The students spent the better part of the afternoon sweeping classrooms, clearing litter, arranging school facilities, and restoring the school environment to a spotless condition.
Teachers confirmed that the clean-up was entirely voluntary, with candidates expressing a desire to give back to the institution that had shaped them over the years.
By the end of the exercise, the school compound was immaculate, attracting praise from teachers and the neighbouring community.
Their actions stand in stark contrast to troubling trends witnessed in recent years, where videos of book burning and acts of vandalism by Form Four leavers have circulated widely on social media.
The education stakeholders have repeatedly condemned such behaviour, urging candidates to uphold dignity and respect even as they celebrate the completion of their secondary school education.
KUPPET Bomet Branch Vice Chair, Peter Kipkurui Bett, lauded the Aisaik Secondary School candidates for demonstrating exemplary conduct and maturity.

He said the students’ initiative should serve as a model across the county and the entire country on how exam completion can be marked positively and constructively.
Bett emphasized that the end of KCSE should be a moment to reflect on the journey, appreciate the support received, and look forward to the next steps in life—not an excuse for destruction or misconduct.
He praised the culture of discipline cultivated at the school and the unity shown by the learners.
“This is the spirit we want to see in our schools. These young people have proved that one can celebrate in a meaningful, peaceful, and impactful way. Their decision to leave their school clean is a powerful reflection of their character,” he said.
Bett wished the candidates success in their KCSE 2025 results and encouraged them to maintain the same dedication in their future academic, social, economic, and political pursuits.
