Refugees among top candidates in the 2022 KCSE examination in the North Eastern region.
Four refugees who sat their 2022 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams at Gedi Secondary School in Dadaab Refugee Complex have emerged among the top candidates in North Eastern Region.
In the North Eastern Region, Abdikadir Hussein Mohamed earned an A minus of 77 points, making him the top candidate.
He was followed by Abdullahi Hassan and Abdifatah Aden Issack with an A- minus of 75 points, while Abdisamad Mohamed Aden scored an A minus of 74 points.
He was followed by Yasmin Abdirashid Abdi with a B plus of 72 points
The four described their good performance as a ‘miracle’ considering the challenges they faced.
“I came to Dadaab with my mother in 2019 and registered as a student at Gedi Secondary School. It has been a difficult journey because we have lacked teachers and learning materials but finally I have made it,” Hussein said.
He added, “My family was forced out of Somalia after Al-Shabaab militants destroyed our home. So we had to seek refuge at the Dadaab refugee camp.”

Dadaab hosts thousands of refugees from Somalia.
Life has not been the same for thousands of refugees after the national government threatened to close the camp in March 2021.
The state then described the camp as a recruiting ground for Al-Shabaab terrorists and a base for launching violent attacks in Kenya.
Despite the uncertainty facing thousands of refugees, hundreds of students at the camp registered for KCSE examinations.
