Owing to a few cases of unrest and riots by KCSE examiners over poor and constant Knec payment rates, the Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) is obliged to train more Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education KCSE examiners annually as a fall-back plan in case things go south. For instance, in January 2023, the council had to obtain details of trained CRE paper 1 examiners from its data bank to replace disgruntled examiners who had exited marking mid-way.
TheKnec Examiners Training 2023 will also address shortage of examiners in selected subjects.
