All Sub County Directors of Education are informed to submit the list of the host examination centres and hosted examination centres for the March/April 2021 KCPE and KCSE examinations by 15th August, 2021.

January 9, 2026 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

The Kenya National Examinations Council, knec, has given fresh guidelines on how the 2020 KCSE project based subjects are to be handled. This a follow up to an earlier circular from the council to schools immediately after closure due to the covid 19 outbreak in the country. Via a circular dated March 27, the council had promised to give further guidelines on the handling of Mile stones 1 and 2 for group IV subjects; when schools reopen.

Group IV subjects which have a project component are: Art and Design (442/3), Agriculture (443/3), Wood Work (444/2), Metal Work (445/2), Building Construction (446/2) and Computer Studies (451/3).

But, with schools still closed and some of the projects having reached the final phase (harvesting/ final stage for agriculture projects), the council has now directed schools to capture and upload the data.

“Take photographic evidence of the candidates’ projects (in .gif or .jpeg formats; these two are photograph formats obtained by using a digital Camera) for their (2020 KCSE students taking Agriculture) records and dispose of the project by July 15, 2020.” reads a circular by knec boss Dr Mercy Karogo that is dated June 22, 2020.

“Upload the pictorial evidence together with the scores awarded onto the portal (knec portal) when new guidelines are issued after the schools reopen,” she adds.

The has at the same time promised to issue guidelines for other subjects. Schools are set for reopening in September; with candidate classes expected to be given first priority.

KCSE Exams administration- Knec introduces new tough conditions

January 9, 2026 Hillary Kangwana Leave a comment

Security overhaul is set for this year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams with supervisors and invigilators now required to rotate between schools.

The examination set to begin three weeks from now, will also see the introduction of personalised question papers with names and index details of the student printed on them.

The new measures introduced by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) will also include strict phone bans, conflict of interest checks, and increased examination collection centres.

KNEC chief executive David Njengere all exam officials will be required to surrender their mobile phones at the beginning of each examination session.

“These phones will be kept in lockable desks, under the vigilance of a security officer and the key will be kept by the centre supervisor,” he said.

Previously, centre managers were allowed to remain with their phones while supervisors and invigilators were banned from using phones during examinations.

Invigilators and supervisors will also be required to declare any form of conflict of interest to the schools they will be deployed.
Teachers Service Commission(TSC) director of staffing, on behalf of the chief executive, said teachers contracted as invigilators and supervisors, will not be deployed to examination centres where they have a conflict of interest.

This could mean the invigilators and supervisors will not be deployed to schools they currently serve or have served in the past, or where their spouses or close relatives are employed.

“They will be required to declare any affiliations they may have with the examination centres where they will be posted,” Lentoijoni said.

Education Cabinet Secretary, Julius Ogamba supported the enhanced measures saying they will ensure the quality of academic certificates.

KCSE will begin on October 22 and will take exactly one month ending on November 22.

KPSEA will be administered between October 28 and November 1. A total of 1,303,913 candidates will take the assessment in 35,573 centres. On the other hand, 965501 candidates will take this year’s KCSE exam in 10,755 exam centres.
