Aware of the challenges likely to be faced in the management of three examinations at the end of the year, TSC sent an early directive to field officers to identify and vet teachers of integrity for the exercise, the most extensive since independence,” said TSC, in its quarterly publication dubbed Teachers’ Image.
Some 1.2 million candidates will sit their KCPE, about 1.3 million for KPSEA and another 800,000 will sit their KCSE. Sub county directors were expected to have nominated and vetted national examination officials by last week.
TSC Secretary, Nancy Macharia urged the directors to identify centre managers, supervisors and invigilators who will be engaged in administration of the national exams and deploy them into the system. “In preparation for the administration of the examination and assessment, KNECC would wish to have the details of the center managers, supervisors and invigilators who will be engaged in the activity,” said Macharia in a circular last month.
Macharia said that for every 200 candidates, the directors are to deploy one supervisor. TSC said that no supervisor should be deployed for hosted and Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) except for centres with KPSEA candidates only.
