A candidate is sitting her KCPE exams at Isiolo Referral Hospital after delivering last weekend.
Isiolo County Director of Education James Nyaga said the girl delivered last week and had not been discharged when the exams kicked off forcing her to take them from her hospital bed.
The girl has been offered a private place within the maternity ward.
Mr Nyaga said the examination and health officials are ensuring the girl is comfortable while writing the exams.

Mr Marube warned against exam cheating saying exam officials and officers found guilty of abetting malpractices will be severely dealt with.
