KNEC Excludes Primary Teachers From 2023 KCSE Invigilation
Starting from the upcoming national examinations, primary school teachers will no longer be responsible for administering the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams. Curriculum Support Officers (CSOs) have already excluded primary school teachers from the list of KCSE exam invigilators.
Instead, primary school teachers will concentrate on overseeing the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) exams, while their counterparts in secondary schools will handle KCSE invigilation.
Additionally, junior secondary school (JSS) teachers will not be involved in the invigilation of the 2023 national examinations.
The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has directed all teachers assigned to administer KCSE exams to undertake their new roles. They are required to visit the CP2 portal, submit their details, and print their deployment letters. The deployment portal has been specifically designed to prevent the deployment of primary school teachers for KCSE exam administration.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has vetted a total of 223,223 teachers to serve as supervisors and invigilators for the 2023 national exams, with an additional 37,731 teachers vetted to serve as examiners.
KNEC will oversee the administration of national examinations for 2.3 million learners participating in this year’s KCPE and KCSE exams, with 1,415,315 candidates taking the KCPE exam and 903,260 candidates taking the KCSE test.

KNEC CEO David Njengere noted that preparations have been completed for the candidates, including 1,282,574 Grade Six learners who will be taking the KPSEA.
A total of 1,143 containers will be used for the 2023 KCSE, KCPE, and KPSEA exams. Of these, 576 distribution centers or containers will store KPSEA and KCPE examinations, while 567 containers will be utilized for the distribution of KCSE papers. An additional 82 containers have been procured to ensure a smooth process, particularly in the 13 newly established sub-counties that lacked containers.
Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu emphasized the importance of all personnel involved in the national examinations conducting their duties with the utmost professionalism and adherence to the established guidelines.
