KNEC officers assigned to the two regions, Maurine Salim and Peris Baaru, shared detailed guidelines concerning the timelines and processes for conducting the national exams.

The officials emphasized the importance of preparedness and adherence to set protocols to ensure efficient execution.

Role of School Heads in Examination Success

Speaking at Tendere Secondary School, Baaru highlighted the crucial role school heads play as the primary officials responsible for overseeing the smooth operation of examination centres.

He urged them to maintain professionalism and decorum, stressing that their conduct is pivotal to the success of the national exercise.

“The success this important National exercise will depend on you as major drivers of your centres so you must uphold all manners of decorum,” he said.

Baaru mentioned that exam containers would be opened daily at 6:00 am to facilitate timely collection and transport of exam materials to various centres.

This logistical step ensures that there are no delays in starting the examinations.

Changes in Examination Administration

Several new measures have been introduced this year to improve the examination process. Baaru outlined the following changes:

  1. Morning exams will be delivered in cartons with blue straps, while afternoon exams will be packaged with black straps.
  2. Centre managers, invigilators, teachers, and security officers will be required to switch off their mobile phones while at the centre.
  3. Security officers will only be involved in escorting the exams to and from the storage containers. They will not be permitted inside the exam rooms to avoid causing anxiety among candidates.

Education Ministry’s Warning on Examination Interference

These preparations came a week after Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba issued a stern warning against any individuals attempting to interfere with the examination process.
