According to Education CS George Magoha last week, the results would be available before the end of April.

University Education PS Simon Nabukwesi had previously said the candidates will join university in June.

He said those who will be enrolled in colleges and vocational institutes will report in September.

The learners had until April 1 to select courses via the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement portal.

This will give parents only one month to prepare for the learners’ enrolment.

The exam is likely to be Magoha’s last as Education CS.

Some 831,015 candidates sat the exam in 10,413 centres compared to 752,981 in 10,437 centres in 2020. This reflects an increase of 78,034 or 9.39 per cent.

Mystery surrounds the recovery of Sh300,000 from a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) centre manager in Garissa yesterday, sparking fears of a plot to compromise the exams.

The centre manager was caught carrying the huge amount of money which he could not account for as Form Four candidates prepared to sit their papers, prompting Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha to order for a thorough frisking of all officials and candidates involved in the exercise.

Prof Magoha, who was supervising the exercise in Murang’a county immediately ordered police officers to arrest those found with ‘unreasonable amounts of money’.

“Carrying large amounts of money to examination centres may mean one wants to compromise the administration of the exams. We were able to track some students who had unnecessary large amounts of money in their pockets for reasons best known to them,” Magoha said.

He said there is a possibility the money could be used to compromise the supervisors to aid in rigging the exams.

“If you are going to supervise the exam, there is no reason why you should be having like Sh200,000 in cash unless you have other fishy business,” said Magoha. The CS directed frisking of students taking the exam be vigorously conducted in order to close all possible exam malpractice loopholes.

The principal has however denied claims that that money was meant for bribing the supervisor to allow them access exams earlier.

“I have directed the supervisors to thoroughly but gently frisk all the students under the watch of the security agents and if they are found to have money, it should be kept in the office until the exercise is complete and the student is going home,” he said.

“Yesterday as you are aware, we confiscated some phones which were being used to communicate to the people outside and it’s very easy to compromise the parties involved,” he added.

Despite the instances, Magoha said the quality of KCSE exams remains uncompromised. He said the government is leaving nothing to chance to ensure the integrity of the exam is upheld to the end.

The CS said the government will also have additional security measures in all the examination centres to minimise room for rigging the exams.

The CS said they are on the look out for centers which request for large print papers for their students saying some actually do not require them.

“This could be a plan by the centre managers to have extra papers for them to leak the exams but we shall catch up with you. If there is anybody who has taken money in exchange of getting the exam they  should give it back because there will be no room to get this leakage,” he said.

He called on examination centre managers to uphold professionalism as they carry out their mandate. “The government is committed to ensuring a credible examination.  Any unruly behaviour on the side of examination managers will be met with the full force of the law.”

Schools near the examination containers will be the last to pick their exam papers, Education Cabinet Secretary said as the ministry tighten any possible loopholes for examination leak.

These are among the new but tight rules the Ministry has put in place to curb cheating ahead of Monday’s, March 7 expected start of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE).

Education CS Professor George Magoha said the containers will be opened at 6:30 in the morning instead of 6 am as has been in the previous years, to reduce the time officials come into contact with the papers.

“There is no reason to release the question papers an hour before exam time for the schools that are near containers. They can wait until it’s about 20 minutes to go,” said the CS when he was commissioning new classrooms in Mombasa.

However, these fresh rules have elicited concerns among education stakeholders with some arguing that delaying the collection of exam papers may only achieve little in regard to exam cheating.

Instead, allegations have been lodged against the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) for being bribed by principals and parents to release improved grades for particular students and schools.

Should there be a suspected case of result manipulation, the educationist urged for comparisons of previous performance records for the schools in question.

“It’s not a wonder that some schools have had the results of their schools ‘ready’ even before the marking is done. The rule of posting results in a common KNEC server before they are released is subject to manipulation. Schools are paying a lot of money to have the exams manipulated to their favour,” said the official.

He cited boarding schools as beneficiaries of such arrangements where they get papers prior to the exam period and have the candidates revise the tests at night.

“We don’t know who is setting these tests and whether it is done locally or outside the country. The process is subject to influence because the papers could go out. Leaked papers do not necessarily have the KNEC logo,” he argued.

By the time of going to press, KNEC had not responded to the allegations. At the same time, delaying release of question papers could inconvenience schools in far-flung areas.

“Schools do not have enough vehicles and you’ll find so many teachers squeezing in one police land cruiser,” said a secondary school principal.

Anthony Wanyoike, a headteacher at Kirawa Road School in Kitisuru claims that the time review had not been communicated to teachers.

“In the last briefing with the ministry officials on Friday there was no mention of such review but we will go with the Ministry’s guidelines,” said Wanyoike.

The KCPE candidates will today (on Monday) tackle Mathematics, English and English Composition papers followed by Science, Kiswahili and Kiswahili Insha tests on Tuesday, March 8.

On the last day, they will write a Social Studies and Religious Education paper. Candidates with visual and hearing disabilities will have additional time for particular tests.

The Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) will start next Monday and the main examination will run from March 14 to April 1.

According to the examination’s council, a total of 2,056,719 candidates have been registered for KCPE and KCSE.

There will be 28, 316 centres for 2021 KCPE, which is an increase compared to the 28,467 centres in 2020 and 1,191,752 candidates.

Some 831,015 candidates have registered for the KCSE examination in 10,413 centres compared to the 752,981 candidates in 2020 and 10,437 centres.

The 831,026 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) 2021 candidates have until April 1 to apply for placement in universities and colleges under government sponsorship.

The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) opened the application window yesterday.

This comes two weeks to the Form Four national examination which starts on March14 and ends on April 1.

“This is to notify school principals that the portal is now open for the 2021 application. Submit KCSE candidates’ course choices by April 1, 2022,” reads a notice by KUCCPS.

Each student will pay Sh500 for application fees.

KUCCPS recently reviewed the application criteria that will see cut-off points for joining university pegged on available accommodation and government capitation.

Overall, students have 18 choices open to them when making applications. Out of these, are six options for degree courses, four for diploma programmes, and a similar number for craft certificate options. Another four options are available for artisan certificate courses.

For degrees, candidates are expected to list their preferred four courses in the order of priority. Choice number one has three slots for the same programme (in three different universities).

The two-month application window is a wake-up call to teachers and parents amid reports that some teachers failed to guide the students through the course selection process before exams over fears that some could not meet the required grades.

Teachers are expected to assist candidates in picking the courses so as to avoid making the common mistake of selecting high-ranking and competitive courses in top universities.

However, candidates will have a chance to do the first and second course revision after KCSE results are released.

The second revision will only be applicable to candidates who do not merit any of their preferred choices.

For students who fail to secure placement, they will not pay for the second revision. However, the application fee paid at first revision will be applicable during the second revision.

According to KUCCPs, students applying for placement for the first time in the second course revision window, will pay Sh1,500

Last week KUCCPS asked 95,757 students who sat KCSE between 2020 and 2021 and qualified for placement, but haven’t enrolled, to re-apply for courses.

KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer Agnes Mercy Wahome said those targeted are applicants for diploma, certificate and artisan courses.

Wahome said the government will sponsor all the students who will be successfully placed, including practicing professionals who wish to upgrade their skills by taking technical courses.

The Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) has issued deadline for Contracted Professionals (Cp) to register on their platform popularly known as Cp2 portal.

The contracted professionals include Centre Managers (Principals and Head Teachers), Supervisors, Invigilators, examiners and Security Personnel charged with manning the national exams.

KNEC says those who haven’t registered on the online platform have till midnight today to register and download their assignment letters.

242,406 Best Teachers Have Been Selected To Officiate KCPE, KCSE: TSC

Both school heads and teachers taking part in the 2021 examinations are required to submit their details by registering on the portal.

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) said it has assigned 242,406 teachers national exam supervision and marking duties.

Speaking at an inter-ministerial address at the Kenya School of Government on Friday, February 18, TSC boss Nancy Macharia said the teachers will be presented to Knec to serve as invigilators, supervisors, centre managers and examiners.

“Only the best cream of teachers, those who do not have any known disciplinary issues, have been identified as part of the Commission’s determination to guarantee integrity in examination administration,” she said.

The contracted professionals receive their payments few days after the official release of the KCPE. However, KNEC says it will only make payment for those who officially register their details on the Cp2 platform.

There have been calls to increase the payment for manning the exams. A year ago the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers(Kuppet) protested and called for review of the payments.

According to Payment details released by the Council, Primary school heads who act as Centre Managers for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, KCPE,exams pocket a daily subsistence allowance of Sh500; for a total of 4 days (including rehearsal day).

Secondary school Principals on the other hand, earn a daily allowance of Sh500 for 18 days.The highest paid Supervisor walks away with a sum total of Sh12,510 while the highest paid invigilator gets Sh9860.

The examiner does not pay deputy head teachers and Principals despite being present at the school present during the examination period as assistant Centre Managers.

Knec also does not include for payment of teachers handling science subjects who prepare and administer practicals during the KCSE examinations.

KNEC 2022 PAYMENT RATES FOR CONTRACTED PROFESSIONALS

According to the revised education calendar,2021 KCPE examinations are scheduled to be done between March 7 and 10. And KCSE examinations will be done between March 11 and April 1.

Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) data however shows a total 2,056,719 were registered for the tests scheduled to start in two weeks’ time. Of 1,225,693 will sit KCPE and 831,026 KCSE.

KNEC said the number of candidates sitting the KCPE examinations has increased by 34,085 compared to last years. Additional 78,424 candidates have also been registered to sit the KCSE examinations, according to KNEC data.

A total 479 containers will be used to store examination materials, according to a Knec report.

Candidates in 175 primary and secondary schools will sit their tests in neighboring schools after the kenya national examinations Council (Knec) implemented a new regulation requiring schools to have a minimum of 30 candidates to be registered as examination centers.

This comes as the government formed a command centre for this year’s Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams.

The new regulation, which has come to effect for the first time in the 2021 KCPE and KCSE exams, has affected 151 primary schools and 24 secondary schools.

Speaking yesterday during the launch of the examination period and issuance of security padlocks for the examination containers to county directors of education at the Kenya School of Government, Nairobi, Knec chief executive David Njengere announced that this year a total of 1,225,507 candidates in 28,316 KCPE examination centres have registered for the examination as compared to 1,191,752 candidates in 28,467 centres in 2020.This is an increase of 33,755, representing 2.75 per cent.

In the KCSE examination,831,015 candidates have registered in 10,413 centres compared to 752,981 in 10,437 centres in 2020.

“This is a candidature increase of 78,034, representing 9.39 per cent, “said Dr Njengere.

He said the KCPE centres will be served by 491 distribution centres while 483 distribution centres will cater for the KCSE centres.

Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has, however, asked exam administrators not to deny centres that might have less than 30 candidates exams as required by the law.

“This year, examination centres must have a minimum of 30 candidates, but this is not to say those with less than 30 will bedenied exams.If the learners are too low, they will sit the exams in neighbouring schools,” said Prof Magoha

Previously, the law prescribed the minimum number of candidates per examination centre as 15.

An attempt to overturn the new regulation failed after the court upheld that examination centres must have 30 candidates.

Prof Magoha also announced that preparations for the 2021 Standard Eight and Form Four national exams have been finalized.

The CS assured parents, teachers and the candidates that no paper has leaked. “So far, no examination paper has leaked to the public. Those planning to buy any paper from the streets, do not buy as no paper has leaked,”said Prof Magoha.

The CS also warned students against burning schools or engaging in any other form of unrest.

“For the candidates planning to burn schools before the exam period, we shall close the schools and they will come back and sit the exams under trees if they have to,”said Prof Magoha.

Knec chief executive Njengere said as a result of election campaigns, migration of people from one region to an-other due to insecurity and terrorism, the administration of the examinations may face some challenges.

However, he said measures have been put in place to ensure that no candidate misses the tests.

Last year, the government had to use helicopters to deliver examinations in some areas due to security threats.

Dr Njengere asked the sub-county education directors and deputy county commissioners to ensure that the secu-rity padlocks are handled with care to avoid losses and damages.

“During the administration of examinations, the examination materials should be issued to centre managers in person and escorted by armed security personnel,”said Dr Njengere.

The CEO also announced that a command centre has been operationalised to enhance communication and moni-tor the conduct of examination.

The 2021 KCSE national examination is scheduled to start on February 28 and end on April 1, while the KCPE tests will be administered between March 7 and March 9.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i said the ministry has made necessary arrangements to ensure there will be adequate security during the examination period.

“We have also rescheduled leave days for all our officers to ensure that the exams are administered smoothly across the country. We will also set up a separate command centre that will lead security,” said Dr Matiang’i.

Teachers Service Commission CEO Nancy Macharia said this year, the commission has identified and vetted 242,406 teachers who will serve as invigilators, supervisors, centre managers and examiners.

All teachers currently on maternity leave or paternity leave will not participate in the 2021 Kenya certificate of primary education (KCPE) and Kenya certificate of secondary education (KCSE) examinations. The targeted teachers therefore will not take the roles of invigilators, supervisors, centre managers and examiners.

”The Commission has excluded all female teachers who will be serving their maternity leave during the examination period to ensure they attend to their infants without disruption” says Dr Macharia, CEO TSC.

“You may have realised that the Commission has this week released details to all teachers spelling out the much-improved maternity, paternity, and adoptive leaves for teachers in line with the CORT and the 2021-2025 CBA. The aim is to ensure that all teachers involved in the examinations process give the exercise an undivided attention,” added Macharia.

TSC also revealed that 242, 406 teachers have been selected to officiate 2021 kenya certificate of primary education and kenya certificate of secondary education examinations. Speaking during a multi-agency meeting on the 2021 national examinations administration on February 18,2022, at the kenya school of government, TSC CEO Nancy Macharia said that the selected teachers, who will serve as invigilators, supervisors,centre managers and examiners are the best cream of teachers.

“On behalf of the TSC, I wish to assure the country that all the teachers are fully prepared to play their part to ensure that everything comes together as planned in the entire period of the national examinations. This year, the Commission has identified and vetted 242,406 teachers who will be presented to the Kenya National Examination Council to serve as invigilators, supervisors, Centre managers and examiners during this process. Only the best cream of teachers, those who do not have any known disciplinary issues, have been identified as part of the Commission’s determination to guarantee integrity in examination administration,” said Macharia.

Macharia maintained that the 2021 KCPE and KCSE examinations deserve a fair and favourable environment for all candidates to excel, and only the best teachers can provide such an environment.

The TSC Boss also confirmed cancellation of leaves for officers who are currently on leave to reduce gaps in conduction of exams.

“Starting from Monday 21″ February,2022 the Commission will expect all field officers currently on leave to return to their workstations to ensure there are no gaps in service. As a result, we will be cancelling all annual leave and field activities for all our sub-county, county, and regional officers during the examination period. We expect our officers to join hands with other multi-agency sector players in conducting final preparations ahead of the examinations,” she said.

This implies that all TSC field officers who are currently on leave will have to report on duty by 21^st this month.

Standard 8 and Form 4 candidates will now have to walk long distances to take their national exams in March, at an additional transportation cost that will be footed by their parents due to worry about their children’s safety.

This follows the High Court’s decision to allow KNEC to merge centers with less than 30 candidates.

In an effort to cut costs, the Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) issued a directive that is likely to hit hard learners in sparsely populated areas such as Northern regions, parts of the Coast, and Eastern Kenya.

Knec told the court that merging the centers would help improve candidate and examiner security and safety, address transportation issues, reduce rising administrative costs, and maintain test integrity.

KNEC Releases New Guidelines on Conduction of KCPE and KCSE

Knec’s decision had been challenged by a parent, Mr.David Wanyeki Kago who argued  that there was no public participation and that parents were not engaged prior to the directive’s issuance in July, despite the fact that they will be affected.

He was also dissatisfied with Knec’s decision to issue multiple and contradictory circulars on the merger between May and July 2021.

However, Judge Anthony Mrima dismissed the petition, citing the petitioner’s failure to challenge the most recent circular, which was issued in July 2021

Even if the court quashed the previous three circulars issued in May and June, the judge stated that the July circular is sufficient to provide the necessary guidelines on the joint hosting of the exams.

The July circular clarified the hosting of schools that did not have at least 30 students registered during the 2021 KCPE and KCSE examinations at other examination centers.

The clarification was that the circulars were about hosting rather than candidate registration, so there was no violation of Knec rules.

According to court documents, the merger was also influenced by a shortage of police officers in the country, which prompted Knec to enlist the help of National Youth Service (NYS)servicemen to provide security at test centers.

The number of examination centers has been reduced from 31,294 to 15,648. Knec said that NYS servicemen are not adequately equipped to provide security During examinations, putting the entire examination process at risk.

Knec stated that with fewer examination centres due to hosting, fewer personnel will be required to be deployed at the centre because only one centre manager and one supervisor will be required in host centres.

The petitioner was dissatisfied with the manner and speed with which the Knec issued circulars to headteachers and principals containing contradictory.

Although Justice Mirima dismissed the petition, he agreed with the petitioner’s contention that Knec should have conducted adequate public participation before issuing the policy directives contained in the three circulars “in an imperial manner.”

Having subjected candidates through data verification, KNEC has shifted focus on preparations for next year’s KCPE and KCSE exams.

As per the new calendar, 2021 KCPE examinations will be done between 7^th and 10^th March, 2022 while KCSE examinations will be done between 11^th March and 1^st April 2022.

According to KNEC Chief Executive David Njengere, online registration of candidates ended three months ago with a total of 2,056,719 registered. Out of this number, 1,225,693 will sit KCPE while 831,026 will write KCSE exams. Compared to last year, the number of KCSE candidates has increased by 34,085 while the number of KCPE candidates has increased by 78,424.

KNEC now wants education stakeholders to ensure students’ data is well captured. And all corrections must be done by November 30, 2021.

“Any discrepancy in registration details should be officially communicated to the KNEC Chief Executive through heads of schools or sub-county directors of education for private candidates,” said Njengere.

During the verification, Njengere said name, year of birth and gender of candidate should be well captured. “Ensure name of KCSE candidates are spelt correctly and the order of names is the same as they appear on KCPE certificate,”

He also said that subject choices for KCSE candidates must be correctly entered and verified to conform to the grade award criteria as per the KCSE regulations stipulated in the 2021 KCSE registration circular.

In addition, KNEC wants KCPE repeaters to ensure they have used correct KCPE index numbers and entered right codes for examination. The candidates with special needs should also be correctly registered and supporting documents submitted to KNEC

A team of officials from the ministry and KNEC, led by Magoha and Njengere are already in UK to inspect printing of exams. They are supervising exam related activities like setting of questions, proof-reading, printing and packaging.

Meanwhile, courts have pushed a ruling on the minimum number of examination centres to December 9. KNEC had indicated that no examination centre shall have less than 30 candidates.
