Deputy Principals & Head teachers, Science Teachers
Unfortunately, KNEC failed to factor payment for Deputy Head Teachers and Deputy Principals despite the fact that their presence play vital role during examination period as assistant Centre Managers.
At the same time teachers handling science subjects walked home empty handed. These teachers are required to prepare and administer practical during the KCSE examinations.
KCSE EXAMINERS 2024-2025
We have updated new KNEC payment rates for this year’s KCSE examiners. According to the newly released KCSE Examiners payment rates per day, the least-paid KCSE 2023/2024 KNEC Examiner will pocket Kshs. 2,000 per day while the highest paid will walk home with an average of Kshs. 3, 000 per day. The average pay for most KCSE examiners ranges between Kshs 24,000 to Kshs 40,000. Take note of the fact that the KNEC pay for KCSE 2023 examiners entails a wholesome perk that encompasses travel expenses and a coordination fee of Kshs. 150 per day. Consequently, KNEC cannot pay a similar amount for all the KCSE 2023 examiners.
