A record 250,000 teachers have been contracted by the Kenya National Examinations Council Knec to be in charge of the forthcoming national examinations for Grade 6, Standard 8 and Form 4 learners.
The teachers will be deployed as centre managers, supervisors, Invigilators and examiners.
Heads of institutions function as centre managers, while the supervisors and invigilators come from other schools. Only teachers working for Knec will be involved.
These examinations will also involve the highest number of candidates in the history of the country, totaling over three million.
Grade 6 learners will sit the inaugural Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) ahead of their transition to junior secondary school.
This is the second-last KCPE exam, with the last 8-4-4 cohort set to complete primary school next year; as we usher in the Competency Based Curriculum, CBC.
