KCPE and KCSE 2021-2022 Exams to Kick off in two weeks, Results to be Released on Time
<h1><strong> <a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/knec-news/">KCPE and KCSE 2021-2022</a> Exams to Kick off in two weeks, Results to be Released on Time</strong></h1>
<h5><strong><a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/knec-news/">Knec News 2022</a>: The Ministry of Education has set the stage for the 2021 national examinations after issuing the keys for the containers where the <a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/knec-news/">KCPE</a> and <a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/knec-news/">KCSE 2021 exams</a> material will be stored.</strong></h5>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) will use approximately 479 containers to store examinations. The containers are normally based at Deputy County Commissioners’ office.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has stated that more than 200,000 teachers will be engaged for administration and management of both Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams to be conducted between March and April this year.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>“In preparation for administration of these exams, the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) requested the Commission to provide details of all centre managers, supervisors and invigilators, who will be engaged in this activity,” said the Commission in a memo to all TSC Regional Directors last month.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>TSC County and Sub-County Directors of Education were to identify and nominate centre managers, supervisors and invigilators to be engaged in the administration of exams.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>After their identification and vetting, the directors were expected to deploy them into the Contracted Professional (CP) system by February 4.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Class eight candidates will sit their KCPE exams on March 7 while those in Form 4 are scheduled to start their KCSE exams on March 11.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Some 1,225,698 candidates registered to sit the 2021 KCPE, which was an increase of 34,085 compared to 2020.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>For 2021 KCSE, there was a 10.42 per cent increase compared to last year. Some 832,026 candidates will sit their KCSE compared to 752,602 last year.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>All other classes, from Pre-Primary 1 to Class 7 and Form 1 to 3 are expected to have closed by March 3 to pave way for a conducive examination environment.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Human face</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Magoha has constantly affirmed that the exams have been set with a human face and that candidates can handle all the papers.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>“President Uhuru Kenyatta directed us that we must ensure exams have a human face and that is precisely what we have taken into account so the children need not be afraid,” assured Magoha.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>The CS has also said that the duty at hand is for candidates to prepare themselves to write the exams.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>“I want to thank those who have worked with other experts to develop questions, which have now formed the tests for the exams to be done in March and in December,” the CS said.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>The CS also assured that the December exams will be ready for administration by the end of next month.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>“We are not only going to prepare for exams in March but we also must ensure that whoever takes over the Government next year will find the exam ready and all he will have to do is to implement it,” he said.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>All examination centres will have at least 30 candidates, with those with less than the set number merged.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>According to Magoha, the merger of examination centres with less than 30 candidates is critical and is part of ensuring efficiency and deterring examination related malpractices.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Magoha said that since 2015, enrolment of candidates in primary and secondary schools, both public and private has increased, which has led to rising costs in terms of payment of centre managers, supervisors, invigilators, security officers and drivers.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>This, he said, has been coupled with the high cost of delivering examination materials to schools together with an inadequate number of security personnel to offer security in the examination centres, which has necessitated the change in approach by revising the number of examination centres.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>“The Ministry believes that with the reduction of examination centers, monitoring will be conducted more effectively and efficiently to deter the occurrence of examination related malpractices and maintain the integrity of the examination,” said Magoha two months.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Last month, Magoha led senior education officials traveled abroad for the final inspection of the 2021 national exams ahead of shipment.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>The exams, which are ready for administration, were expected to be shipped into the country mid this month.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>KNEC is gearing up for a tight schedule this year, as it will be expected to deliver five national examinations next year for the first time ever.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>The exams are also to be delivered in an election year but the Ministry assured that there will no be changes on the date set for exams.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>“This coming year will test whether the transformation we have done at Knec is sustainable or not and the reason is instead of having the two usual exams, we will have five and my orders from the President is that I give all my time to focus on delivery of these exams,” said the CS.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>The five exams are 2021 KCPE and KCSE to be written in March while the 2022 KCPE and KCSE and Grade 6 exams are scheduled for December.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>“The exams for December will be ready for administration which means it will not matter who takes over as president, we will have delivered what we have to for our children, who are at the centre of all this,” said the CS.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>He said the exam is one of the transformative areas and has been successful.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>“Six years ago and nobody wanted to be associated with Knec. Now there are many people who will come to see how we are doing it. So forget about politics. Our children going to universities are much better,” he said.</strong></p>

EDUCATION: COVID-19 POSITIVE TEACHERS TO STAY AT HOME AS MINISTRY PREPARES TO ROLL OUT MANDATORY TESTS AHEAD OF SCHOOLS’ REOPENING
<h6><strong>EDUCATION: COVID-19 POSITIVE TEACHERS TO STAY AT HOME AS MINISTRY PREPARES TO ROLL OUT MANDATORY TESTS AHEAD OF SCHOOLS’ REOPENING</strong></h6>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-6305" src="https://newspro.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/download-21.jpg" alt="EDUCATION: COVID-19 POSITIVE TEACHERS TO STAY AT HOME AS MINISTRY PREPARES TO ROLL OUT MANDATORY TESTS AHEAD OF SCHOOLS’ REOPENING" width="300" height="168" /></p>
<p><strong>The latest news reaching our media team now indicates that all tutors in Kenya must be scheduled for mandatory Covid-19 tests ahead of schools’ reopening date in September.</strong></p>
<p>The CS reiterated this as he was advising TTC principals on some of the measures to be undertaken to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus upon reopening.</p>
<p><strong>According to CS Magoha, mandatory covid-19 tests for all teachers is one of the measures that can contain the spread of the virus.</strong></p>
<p>He said this today at the Kenya School of Government in Embu County.</p>
<p>“We must test all the teachers before they go to class. They are not many, but if a teacher is Covid-19 positive, he or she has to stay at home,” said the CS.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The CS further added that the process may be a bit tedious given the limited time remaining before September versus the high number of teachers.</p>
<p>Another key challenge that is likely to surface is the high cost of testing and treatment of covid-19 patients.</p>
<p>The education ministry has been giving clues about the reopening of learning institutions as from September 1 as earlier directed by the President.</p>
<p>However, with the ever-increasing positive cases, reopening of congested primary and secondary schools seems unlikely.</p>
<p>Last month, the CS advised the President not to officially reopen primary and secondary schools when the virus was still surging.</p>
<p>“I will advise not to reopen schools when the infections from the disease are still on the rise. We propose that school clusters be attached to a health facility before we open,” said the CS during his presentation at a virtual meeting with state dignitaries.</p>
<h3><strong>NEW KCSE, KCPE EXAM DATES</strong></h3>
<p>Another consultative meeting that brought together key education stakeholders at the KICD also backed CS Magoha’s philosophy about extending the reopening date until virus cases start reducing for14 consecutive days.</p>
<p>The participants proposed that schools reopen in January 2021 while KCSE and KCPE national exams to be done at the end of the year 2021.</p>
<p>If this idea is adopted then learners may be forced to wait for six more months before resuming studies.</p>
<p>Technical and Vocational Education Training Institutions are likely to resume in September while Teacher Training Colleges are expected to reopen in October.</p>

TEACHER MURDERS HIS DAUGHTER, KCSE CANDIDATE, OVER BOYFRIEND
<p><strong>TEACHER MURDERS HIS DAUGHTER, KCSE CANDIDATE, OVER BOYFRIEND</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1127" src="https://newspro.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/images-12.jpg" alt="TEACHER MURDERS HIS DAUGHTER, KCSE CANDIDATE, OVER BOYFRIEND" width="299" height="169" /></p>
<p><strong>Mukuyu Village in Migori County is awash with grief after a principal murdered his school-going daughter for having a pre-marital affair with a 19-year old boyfriend.</strong></p>
<p>The daughter who has been identified as <strong>Sauline Akinyi, 17</strong>, is said to have been found in the act in a nearby house by her father<strong> Mr. Rabet Onyango Apitha</strong> on Thursday.</p>
<p>His father had caught wind of her sexual escapades with her boyfriend before he rushed to the “crime scene.”</p>
<p>Enraged, Mr. Rabet buttered the boyfriend identified as Ibrahim Kerario Rioba but he managed to get away with minor injuries.</p>
<p>That is when the Principal descended on his daughter, a form four candidate at Ugari Mixed Secondary School in Migori County. He clobbered her using a cooking stick. It is believed that the daughter sustained serious head and hand injuries.</p>
<p>On Thursday night, Akinyi passed out and was rushed to the NeoCare clinic in Mukuyu where she was attended to but her condition became worse.</p>
<p>She was later referred to <strong>Migori Level 4 Hospital</strong> where she succumbed to the injuries while undergoing treatment.</p>
<p><strong>HURRIED SEND-OFF</strong></p>
<p>When the harsh reality of his actions dawned on him, the principal quickly bought a coffin for the deceased girl and organized for her body to be transported to his ancestral home at Bondo Town in Siaya County for burial rites.</p>
<p>His son, enraged by his father’s actions however felt that he owed his sister, telling the truth. He reported the matter to a local elder, Elisha Otieno who quickly blew the whistle.</p>
<p>The <strong>OCPD Uriri Police Station</strong> then took action and intercepted the body at Homa Bay Town on Friday while on transit to Bondo.</p>
<p><strong>AUTOPSY</strong></p>
<p>The body was taken to Ombo Hospital in Migori for autopsy.</p>
<p>The teacher has since been arrested and is set to be arraigned soon to answer murder charges.</p>
<p>This incident comes at a time when the country is facing a great challenge, manning teenagers amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.</p>
<p><strong>TEENAGE PREGNANCIES</strong></p>
<p>Less than a week ago, a report emerged indicating that over 4, 000 school girls had been impregnated in<strong> Machakos County</strong> within three months.</p>
<p>Although the education <strong>CS Magoha</strong> denounced the report, there could be some truth since numbers do not lie.</p>
<p>He promised to look into the report to ascertain its authenticity.</p>
<p>Besides, crime rates have also gone higher with school-going boys finding themselves on the wrong side of the law for engaging in petty crimes.</p>
<p>This is a wake-up call to the Ministry of Education. The truth is, these teenagers are idle. They need to be engaged or we will lose many lives in the process.</p>
