KNEC to Publish National Exams under New Reforms

The Presidential Working Group on Education Reform (PWPER) committee has recommended that the Kenya National Exam Council (KNEC) publish national examinations.

If ratified, the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) will no longer be printed in the United Kingdom, as has been the case for decades.

The task force tasked with enhancing the effectiveness of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CB) expressed confidence in KNEC, stating that it had demonstrated capable of preventing exam leaks and enhancing its credibility.

“Develop KNEC’s capacity to print National Assessments in Kenya,” the committee, led by University of Nairobi professor Raphael Munavu, recommended in its report to President William Ruto.

In addition to printing exams in Kenya, the committee recommended that KNEC enhance its portal to permit teachers to upload scores without the risk of compromise.

In this regard, stakeholders suggested that external assessment by the KNEC be given greater weight in determining the overall performance of learners.

However, the task force advocated for a site audit after discovering that certain teachers had the propensity to upload fabricated scores.

According to reports, some institutions were unable to access the portal due to factors such as inadequate ICT infrastructure and poor internet connectivity.
