The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) will officially open the registration of students in preparation for the national exams that are scheduled for November this year. The exercise will kick off from April 27 to May 14.
According to KNEC, the registration will be for Grade 6, Standard 8, and Form 4 candidates. Parents have been encouraged to make sure that all their children are registered and not wait until the last minute to start running up and down.
“The exercise is free. Nobody should ask parents to give out any money for the registration. The government of Kenya has catered for the costs of registration and anyone who will charge parents will be prosecuted,” said KNEC.
The announcement was made during the release of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) for the year 2021. The release of the results went against the norm to be released on a Saturday by Education CS George Magoha.
“It is important to note that this is the last examination being administered outside the norm October – November season which had been disrupted due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” said the KNEC Chair Dr. John Onsati.
