Education CS Ezekiel Machogu has assured Kenyans of quality examination results following the watertight measures implemented during the administration and marking of the December 2022 KCPE national tests.
Sources at Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) confided in our media team that marking multiple-choice questions has been made easier by acquiring the modern Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) which electronically scores the papers.
Marking of KCPE 2022 Examinations
The OMR is the process of capturing marked data from candidates’ answer sheets using specialized scanning.
The machines work with a dedicated scanning device that shines some light on the paper.
The contrasting reflection at predetermined positions on a page is then used to detect marked areas as they reflect less light than the blank areas of the paper.
With the new machines, scripts are marked in batches of 100 and 200 sheets, unlike the previous technology, which took many hours.
In an earlier interview, former CS Education Professor George Magoha who took his leave in August this year said the old machines the council had been using were nearly 20 years old and had become obsolete.
“This was the reason results for previous years took long to be compiled and eventually released. This means that the 2022 KCPE results will be accurate and precise.
The OMR machines have improved accuracy during marking and reduced human interaction with candidates’ results.
Insiders reveal that the new marking machine was fine-tuned to also speed up the tallying of Kiswahili Insha and English Composition marks, which were previously done manually by examiners.
The two papers are still marked manually. However, tallying of marks is no longer done through physical counts.
Under the OMR machines, the marked scripts are scanned to verify the marks in record time compared to the previous years when tallying was done manually.
After marking the Insha and Composition scripts, the examiners will pass over the papers to the new machine, which will do the electronic tallying of marks in record time.
Besides curbing cheating, examination officials said they are also banking on improved efficiency in marking to release KCPE results earlier than in the past.
The use of OMR is also among other security measures that will improve the accuracy and credibility of the results.
