2020 examiners training- KNEC issues a statement

Leave a comment

The Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC, has issued a statement concerning the 2020 training of examiners. This follows reports that the Council had made an advertisement for teachers willing to train to apply online.

Every year Knec has been carrying out training for examiners annually or from time to time as need arises. The training of new examiners is informed by: increased candidature, need to replace exited examiners and whenever new exam papers are introduced.

The Council usually trains examiners in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE), Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), Primary Teacher Education (PTE) and Early Childhood Development Education, ECDE; among other examinations.

But, Knec says it is yet to advertise for any 2020 training vacancies. The Council’s response follows numerous inquiries from teachers and other stake holders.

“KNEC has received several inquiries from headteachers, teachers/tutors in relation to the training of KCPE, KCSE, PTE, ECDE and DTE examiners. We wish to inform all headteachers and teachers that KNEC has not advertised for training of examiners in the year 2020.” Says the Council via a press statement.

There have been misleading reports online insinuating that the council had told interested teachers to apply so as to be trained.

All indications are that the Council may not advertise for any training vacancies, this year. This is largely due to the current covid 19 pandemic and the crunch school academic calendar that may leave Knec with no option than to push the training to next year.

KNEC will now have to use examiners in its database during the 2020 KCSE marking exercise that is slated for April 4 to 22, 2021.

KNEC refutes purported list of 2018 examiners doing rounds on social media

Leave a comment

The Kenya National Examinations council, KNEC, has distanced itself from the list of purported senior examiners; which has been circulating on social media platforms. In a memo sent to the Chief Executive Officer of the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, Dr. Nancy Njeri Macharia, KNEC says the list is null and void. The list in question had details for a total of one thousand two hundred and sixty Chief Examiners, Assistant Chief Examiners and Team Leaders.The list had details on the Teachers Service Commission registration numbers, Current teaching stations and KNEC responsibility for the senior examiners.

Read more details, here: News on the 2018 Examiners invited by KNEC

But, now KNEC Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mercy G. Karogo, says the list is fake as the examination council communicates with contracted professionals directly; not through social media platforms.

Here is the memo sent to Dr. Nancy Macharia by KNEC’s Dr. Mercy karogo, today (Thursday 15th November 2018):

“SUBJECT: LETTER ON PURPORTED LIST OF EXAMINERS.

It has come to the Council’s notice that there is a list of purported KNEC examiners for the 2018 KCSE Examination currently circulating in some sections of social media.

This is to clarify that the list is did not originate from KNEC and is, therefore null and void. As always, the council deals and will continue to engage, with contracted teachers directly through their personal contact details.

In view of the foregoing, please advise the teachers accordingly.

The Kenya National Examinations Council appreciates your continued support.

Dr. Mercy G. Karogo, MBS.

Ag Chief Executive Officer.”

If indeed the purported list did not originate from KNEC, then the said senior examiners have all the reasons to worry as to who may be having their full details.
This comes even as some teachers complained of fraud by ‘unknown’ con men who use the teachers’ personal details to procure loans from financial institutions. This happens without the said teachers’ knowledge.
