Knec asks teachers to apply for training on KCSE marking for sh10,500

The Kenya National Examinations Council has announced the training of Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examiners, which will take place between August 18 and August 24, 2024.

According to KNEC, the training fee is Sh10,500 and will only be made by the shortlisted applicants who will be notified through a text message (SMS) and the portal on how to make the payments. 

“The examiner must be a practicing teacher in the relevant subject areas at the level of examination,” KNEC stated.

Examiners must also be registered and/or employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).

The examiner must have a diploma in education (and above), and have a minimum teaching experience of three years.

Also, the examiners must not be on interdiction or any other form of disciplinary action by the TSC.

The commission said the examiner must be recommended by his/her head of institution and must be 50 years of age and below.

KNEC also states that the training slots are limited and only qualified teachers who have presented all the required documents will be shortlisted for the exercise.

The commission said the venue of training will be communicated to the qualified applicants later and the exercise will be strictly residential. 

“Teachers who are already trained as KCSE examiners and are in the KNEC database of examiners need not apply,” the commission noted.

Applicants are required by KNEC to access the KNEC examiners’ portal using the link https://examinersapp.knecacke

Those with CP2 accounts should log into the portal using their usernames and passwords.

“Those who have forgotten their CP2 passwords should click on the ‘reset password’ button and enter their mobile number in the format (2547*****) and submit to get new passwords for logging into the system,” KNEC shares.”
