KNEC Sets New Daily Rates for Invigilators, Supervisors, and Centre Managers in 2025 Exams.
The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has announced that primary school teachers will be the only invigilators for the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams. Each teacher will get KSh 8,800 for the 16 days.
KNEC said secondary school teachers will not be allowed to invigilate due to conflict of interest. Instead, secondary school teachers will be supervisors only.
The Council also clarified that only serving primary school teachers registered and employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will be engaged in invigilation.
KNEC does not pay direct allowances for invigilation and supervision services but reimburses transport costs for contracted professionals.
The new rates after protests from secondary school teachers have set invigilator and centre manager reimbursement at KSh 550 per day while supervisors will get KSh 680 per day.
Payment Breakdown for Contracted Professionals 2025
- KCSE Supervisors: KSh 680 per day for 16 days, KSh 10,880
- KCSE Invigilators: KSh 550 per day for 16 days, KSh 8,800
- KPSEA Supervisors: KSh 680 per day for 3 days, KSh 2,040
- KPSEA Invigilators: KSh 550 per day for 3 days, KSh 1,680
- KJSEA Supervisors: KSh 680 per day for 3 days, KSh 2,040
- KJSEA Invigilators: KSh 550 per day for 3 days, KSh 1,680
- Centre Managers: KSh 550 per day for both KPSEA and KCSE
KNEC said only a few primary school teachers will be deployed for KCSE invigilation as others will be involved in KPSEA and KJSEA.
Payment Challenges Guidelines
KNEC has outlined 5 reasons contracted professionals (teachers, drivers and security personnel) may not get paid and the solutions:
1. Name mismatch: When the CP2 account name and the registered M-Pesa name differ.
* Solution: Create a new CP2 account with an M-Pesa number that matches identification details.
2. Incomplete details: Missing identification number or TSC/PF number.
*Solution: Update CP2 portal with correct information.
3. Incomplete documentation: Attendance registers not submitted or submitted without official signatures and stamps.
*Solution: Centre managers to download, verify, sign, stamp and forward registers to SCDE for submission to KNEC.
4. Undeployed professionals: Teachers who worked but were not deployed through CP2.
*Solution: Contact SCDE and provide details including year, exam, centre code, role and M-Pesa number that matches ID details.
5. Delayed or incomplete data submission: Late facilitation or provision of incorrect professional data.
*Solution: Clean and resubmit complete data through SCDE for processing.
KNEC says payments are processed only upon receipt of correct and complete data through official channels.Read Also: Junior School Autonomy Gains Momentum as TSC Implements First Phase of Reforms
