Examination papers for the more than 900,000 learners who will sit this year’s KCSE exam will bear individual candidate’s details in new changes to be rolled out by Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec).

The papers will be customised for each candidate, with their name, index number and school pre-printed.

This is a marked departure from the past where candidates were required to write their details on the papers, a loophole exploited over the years to abet examinations malpractices such as impersonation.
It also means that there will neither be extra question papers nor the very rare situation of photocopying them.

However, at the end of each paper, the section containing the candidates’ details will be torn off and packed separately to guard against examiners identifying the candidates while marking.

In addition to these, it also emerged that candidates who engage in examination cheating will be held personally responsible in new changes to be rolled out this year.

Exam malpractice by individual candidates will not be used to punish an entire school or an examination center. Over the years, candidates in examination centres or schools with suspected irregularities have had their results cancelled or withheld.

These details emerged on Friday during a stakeholders consultative meeting attended by senior Knec officials, Teachers Service Commission, Kenya Secondary School Heads Association and Kenya Private Schools Association representatives.
