The Kenya National Examinations Council, knec, is yet to open the registration portals for the 2020 national tests. The council via an earlier circular had directed schools to register the 2020 candidates for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, KCPE, and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education Education, KCSE, exams for the 2018 class seven and form threes; respectively.
“The registration of candidates for the 2020 KCPE, KCSE and KCSE QT (Qualifying Test) examinations will start from 2nd September 2019 and end on 30th September, 2019,” reads the knec circular; in part.
Also to be registered are candidates for the 2020 Qualifying Test.
But with the 30th September deadline fast approaching, the council is yet to open the registration portal so as the candidates’ details can be uploads. A spot check on the portal shows that only the numbers of the current form threes and Class seven learners can be fed onto the system.
Knec silent on proceedings
The Council is yet to offer any explanation as to the fate of the registration exercise. This is the first time that the Council is enlisting candidates for exams with more than one year to spare. Usually, the registration exercise is done between January and February. The fate of the registration exercise hangs on a balance as schools await further official communication from knec.
