KNEC Warns Invigilators
The council stated in a message on Monday that all invigilators should wait until exam time to provide any confidential instructions with candidates or other unauthorized parties.
“We wish to strongly caution all KCSE Centre Managers against sharing of advanced confidential instructions for the preparation of science practical examination papers with unauthorized persons,” the notice begins. Please abide fully by the KNEC rules and regulations. Sanctions outlined in the KNEC Act will be applied to any non-compliance.
According to the Act, center administrators who are found guilty face a maximum sentence of one year in prison, a fine of Ksh 500,000, or both. The penalty applies to anyone who obtains access to examination materials and knowingly discloses the information, verbally or in writing, to any unapproved individual, whether or not they are a candidate, as well as anyone who willfully and maliciously damages examination materials.
Individuals who are not registered to take a particular council test, who intend to mimic, present, or attempt to present themselves in the role of an enrolled candidate, or who possess or present a fake certificate or diploma are also subject to the jail sentence.
Candidates took physics practical exams today as part of the nationwide examinations. For the exam, 903,260 participants had enrolled. It is anticipated that the scientific practical exams will last till Friday.
