KNEC To Begin Printing Exams In Kenya
The Presidential Working Party on Education Reform (PWPER) committee recommended on Tuesday, August 1, that the Kenya National Exam Council (KNEC) publish national exams.
If put into effect, the UK will no longer publish the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), breaking a long-standing tradition.
The task force, which was established to increase the efficacy of competency-based education (CBE), expressed confidence in KNEC, saying that it has proven capable of lowering exam leaks and enhancing credibility.
In the report presented to President William Ruto at State House in Nairobi, the committee, headed by professor Raphael Munavu of the University of Nairobi, suggested “Develop the Capacity of KNEC to Print National Assessments in Kenya”.
The committee recommended that KNEC update its system rather than just printing exams in Kenya so that teachers could input scores without worrying about security breaches.
According to a section of the report, “In this regard, the stakeholders recommended that KNEC external assessment should carry more weight in determining the overall performance of learners.”
However, after realizing that certain teachers had a penchant for uploading fake test results, the task group argued in favor of a site audit. Several schools apparently were unable to access the portal due to a variety of problems, including inadequate ICT equipment and bad internet connectivity.

The decentralization of KNEC services to the counties was also recommended by stakeholders for effective Competency Based Assessment (CBA) monitoring and teacher capacity building in assessment-related concerns.
numerous further suggestions
The task force urged the government to prioritize funding for essential education in order to avoid further educational crises.
“Basic literacy, numeracy, and transferable skills, such as social and emotional skills, ensure essential blocks for acquiring higher order skills,” the group, led by Raphael Munavu, recommended.
It also asked for the elimination of the National, Extra-County, County, and Sub-County classifications of public secondary schools and the categorization of senior schools according to professional trajectories.
CS instruction Ezekiel Machogu and Kithure Kindiki, his interior department counterpart, were advised to integrate birth registration, capture students in tertiary and vocational institutions, as well as school-age learners who are not enrolled in school after renaming the Education Management Information System (EMIS) to Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS).
EMIS is a system for gathering, integrating, processing, maintaining, and disseminating data and information that supports the creation, analysis, and development of policies.
In order to increase the effectiveness of credits awarded to students, the Parliament was further urged to approve the proposed Tertiary Education Placement and Funding Bill, which would bring together the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Fund, Universities Funding Board, and Higher Education Loans Board.
