The New training dates for KNEC examiners

Teachers who were interested in becoming examiners submitted the applications last month. However, the application process was not as smooth as the servers were very slow. Some teachers were not able to submit their applications because KNEC closed applications once the available slots were taken.

KNEC will conduct training for the successful applicants this month after the postponement due to political activities that have been happening in the country.

Shortlisted applicants will receive SMS notifications from KNEC with dates and venues for training. The training will take place in different venues for various subjects

Therefore, once trained, the new examiners will now have an opportunity to participate in the marking of national exams.
