Primary School Teachers Kicked Out Of KCSE Invigilation
Primary school teachers will no longer take part in the invigilation of Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). Already, Curriculum Support Officers (CSOs) have removed primary school teachers from the list of those drafted to invigilate KCSE exams.
Primary school teachers will now focus on managing Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) exams, while KCSE will be the responsibility of secondary school teachers. However, junior secondary school (JSS) teachers will not participate in any national exam invigilation this year.
The Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) has instructed all teachers deployed to administer KCSE exams to embrace their new roles. They must visit the CP2 portal, submit their details, and print their deployment letters. The deployment portal has also been designed to prevent primary school teachers from being deployed to administer KCSE exams.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has vetted 223,223 teachers to serve as supervisors and invigilators in the 2023 national exams. Additionally, 37,731 teachers have been vetted to serve as examiners this year.
Knec will oversee national examinations for 2.3 million learners who will be taking this year’s KCPE and KCSE examinations. Approximately 1,415,315 candidates will sit for the KCPE exam, while another 903,260 will take the KCSE test.

Njengere added that 576 distribution centers or containers will be used for the storage of KPSEA and KCPE examinations, while 567 containers will be utilized for the distribution of KCSE papers.
