KNEC Releases New Exam Pick-up Techniques to Prevent Cheating
KNEC Releases New Exam Pick-up Techniques to Prevent Cheating. For this year’s national exams, the Kenya KNEC Releases New Exam Pick-up Techniques to Prevent Cheating Examinations Council (KNEC) has proposed enhanced security measures to prevent cheating.
According to the teacher’s update, the exam administrator will not collect all the daily exam papers in the morning.
The head of the center who is the headmaster will only receive his papers tomorrow.
The examiner places the prepared morning paper in the container before selecting the afternoon paper.
According to the Ministry of Education insider, the purpose of the policy is to stop students from entering the paper early in the afternoon.
According to a ministry official, “There will be no more afternoons with test questions, because they will be stored in a container and taken minutes before the exam.”
In addition, the current procedure that requires examiners to collect question papers from dustbins located in their respective departments will be reviewed.
Test questions should be collected from the nearest bin by school administrators and testing facilities.
This is because it was found that some schools near the special warehouse could not take the test from that area because they are not part of the district.
KNEC will purchase more containers to transport storage to schools for testing.
Insiders say the new system will reduce the time it takes to take and deliver tests.
Some new measures were introduced three months before the national exam.
About 1.4 million candidates will sit for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination, according to Knec post-registration data.
The Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) will be taken by an additional 1.2 million sixth form students.
This year, about 903,260 students will take the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination.
KCPE and KPSEA candidates will practice on Friday 27 October 2023 as per Knec 2023 exam schedule.
The three days of testing will begin on Monday, October 30.They will close on November 1 to make way for the KCSE exams, which will be held from November 2 to November 24.
Government agencies are fighting sleepless nights over exam rigging as they play finger pointing games.According to Ministry of Education officials, the police are the weakest link in the examination administration.
The Director of Criminal Investigation was also accused of conducting an inadequate investigation which did not support the allegations.Investigators are accused by the ODPP and the Court of not providing enough evidence for prosecution.
The court also accused the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) of providing protection to cybercriminals who create and operate websites that promote fraud.
Also, CA has come under fire for taking too long to shut down websites offering fake test materials.
Although it has been pointed out, three months of preparation is done before the exam.The tester visited the printer to confirm the preparation method.
