RE: RECRUITMENT, TRAINING, DEPLOYMENT AND MONITORING OF SUPERVISION AND INVIGILATION PERSONNEL FOR KNEC BUSINESS AND TECHNICAL EXAMINATIONS

In 2018, the transfer of all Tutors in TVET Institutions was effected to the Directorate of Technical and Vocational Training. This affected a total of 3.800 personnel. The net effect of this has been that KNEC is unable to raise the requisite numbers of Supervision personnel to manage the Business and Technical examinations.
In order to effect a permanent solution to this, it has been decided that the following
steps are taken;

a). KNEC places an advert in the papers requiring all personnel qualified to work as Supervisors and Invigilators to apply through the Sub County Directors of Education. These will include:
i). Trainers in TVET
ii). Trained Teachers who are holders of certificates, Diploma or Degrees from recognized institutions with TSC numbers but not employed by the TSC
iii). Retired Teachers below the age of 65 years,
iv). The applicants should be persons of good moral character, not having any criminal record and of good standing in society.
