KNEC New Payment Rates Per Day For Contracted Invigilators & Supervisors,2021/2022
The Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) has announced the deadline for Contracted Professionals (Cp) to register on their platform popularly known as Cp2 portal.
The contracted professionals include Centre Managers (Principals and Head Teachers), Supervisors, Invigilators, examiners and Security Personnel charged with manning the national exams.
KNEC says those who haven’t registered on the online platform have till midnight today to register and download their assignment letters.
Both school heads and teachers taking part in the 2021 examinations are required to submit their details by registering on the portal.The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) said it has assigned 242,406 teachers national exam supervision and marking duties.
Speaking at an inter-ministerial address at the Kenya School of Government on Friday, February 18, TSC boss Nancy Macharia said the teachers will be presented to Knec to serve as invigilators, supervisors, centre managers and examiners.
“Only the best cream of teachers, those who do not have any known disciplinary issues, have been identified as part of the Commission’s determination to guarantee integrity in examination administration,” she said.
The contracted professionals receive their payments few days after the official release of the KCPE. However, KNEC says it will only make payment for those who officially register their details on the Cp2 platform.
