KNEC releases new rules for KCSE supervisors and invigilators.
The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has released new rules on how to hire managers and invigilators for this year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE).
According to the new rules seen by this newspaper, supervisors and invigilators will not be sent to test centers where they have a personal stake in the results.
Instead, supervisors, invigilators, and center managers will have to say if they have a personal stake in the results of the test center where they are posted.
This year, both supervisors and invigilators for the KCSE test must be secondary school teachers.
In the past, only supervisors were high school tutors and invigilators were from primary schools. Also, only managers and invigilators who have registered in the CP2 system will be sent to run the national exams and assessments in 2024, and their claims will be processed there.
In schools where Stage-Based Pathway students are being taught, teachers will keep an eye on those students.
Also, there should be one teacher for every 10 students. Like at other centers, these invigilators will have to sign the statement form. There will be no supervisors or center managers sent to KILEA centers.
The center managers’ job is to make sure that the leaders and invigilators working in their centers show up every day by double-checking their information and the workstations.
KCSE supervisors will be switched around every week instead of the old way of doing things, where one was in charge at a school during the whole exam time and had to write short notes for the next supervisor to take over.
KNEC also said that managers and invigilators will not be sent back to a center where they have worked for two years in a row.
Also, there will only be one supervisor for every 200 candidates, and teachers who are qualified and work for the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will be the only ones allowed in test centers.
There will be center managers for both housed and hosting centers. But the manager of the hosting center will have to take and return test materials from the exam container.
Additionally, KNEC told sub-counties that are having trouble hiring people to email si@knec.ac.ke and explain the problem. They will then be given help.
