The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has issued guidelines for examiners as they prepare for the 2021 KCPE and KCSE examinations
In a notice on Tuesday, March 16, the Council directed examiners on how to participate in the marking exercise for the examinations.
The letters will be accessible on KNEC's online platform from March 16 for KCPE Examiners and from March 22 for KCSE Examiners.

KNEC had in February announced that teachers could apply to schools as centre managers, supervisors, invigilators, examiners, makers and security personnel to assist with the administration of KCPE and KCSE exams.
The council attributed the vacancies to the increase in the number of candidates who will be sitting the exams in March 2021.
Over two million candidates registered for the national exam as compared to 1.6 million for both primary and secondary schools in 2019.
KNEC deployed 264,446 professionals to schools in 2019 with that number increasing by 15,000 in 2021 as it looks forward to conducting tests under strict Covid-19 rules and other measures set to curb cheating.
