Knec examiners during a past KCSE marking exercise.
The marking exercise for the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, KCSE, has ended with results expected in January 2024.
Chief Examiners, their assistants and Team Leaders were the first to report immediately the last paper was done; on Saturday 25th November, 2023.
The Kenya National Examinations Council, Knec, selected a number of schools within Nairobi and its environs, to be used as the 2023 KCSE marking centres.
Some of the selected schools included: Starehe Girls Centre, Machakos Girls, Alliance Girls, Lang’ata High School, Loreto Girls and Mary Leakey Girls High.
The marking exercise that usually takes two to three weeks was completed in time for release of results.
The Examiners were first be taken through the marking schemes in a process called Coordination. They then marked dummy papers to ensure that the marking scheme has been well understood. This was followed by marking of the real KCSE candidates’ papers.
After marking, the examiners were then populate the marks, cross check for accuracy and then record the raw marks on Knec sheets.
In 2023, the Council had regulated the number of invited examiners. This is after retiring CRE examiners who downed tools last year (2022), over poor pay and working conditions. Also retired are Junior Secondary school teachers and those working on BOM terms.
Knec had cautioned those above 58 years from attending the rigorous marking exercise. Also cautioned were those with underlying medical conditions and breast feeding mothers.
It is important to note that the marking exercise was purely residential.
On a positive note, Knec has revised the pay for the examiners this year. The coordination fee has been increased to Sh250 per day. Also reviewed upwards is the basic fees which will now be Ksh1,500. Marking fees per script has equally been increased.
