The 2022-2023 KNEC Examiners vacancies will be competitively filled this year and only teachers who meet the minimum qualifications below will be granted access to apply.
Any teacher applying for the 2022 KNEC Examiners Vacancies for KCPE/ KCSE marking must
Be a Kenyan Citizen
Possess a valid national identification card.
Be TSC Registered
Not be on TSC interdiction for any indiscipline cases
Possess a valid KNEC registration Certificate for all examiners who have completed the KNEC training modules for all examiners.
Kindly note that only invited examiners only will be allowed to access the marking centers on the reporting dates indicated on the invitation letters.
Examiners who will not be able to access the examiners’ portal and download their invitation letters are therefore advised to keep off the marking venues since trying to access the marking centers is an errand of futility.
KNEC invites and selects examiners based on their performance during KNEC training. The top performers are given opportunities first since they are likely to deliver more credible results.
REPORTING DATES AND TIMING FOR 2022 KNEC EXAMINERS
Given the throat-cutting competition for the limited Knec examiners’ vacancies, invited KCPE/ KCSE examiners are therefore advised to strictly adhere to the timelines indicated on the KNEC Examiners’ invitation letters 2022-2023.
The official reporting time is 2:00 P.M. for all KNEC examiners. Kindly note that the reporting dates differ from one KCSE script to the other since the papers have got different demands.
More demanding KCSE papers like English paper 3 Eng 101/3 require more time while marking since examiners have to peruse through at least three compositions per candidate. These examiners therefore will report to their designated marking centers a few days after the candidates sit for their last KCSE examination paper in early April.
Examiners who fail to turn up on the official reporting date and time indicated in the invitation letter will be disqualified.
PAYMENT RATES, DATES, AND TIME FOR 2022 KNEC EXAMINERS
Payment rates per day remain constant this year. Therefore 2022 KCPE and KCSE examiners will receive Kshs 150 per day for co-ordination of the marking schemes for the first few days.
The KNEC payment rates per script range from Kshs 51 to Kshs 77 depending on the length and demands of the paper.
English paper three examiners are the highest-paid Knec examiners in the latest KNEC examiners’ payment rates per paper 2020-2021.
