Selection of invigilators, supervisors for 2025 exams kickoff

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has started the process of nominating teachers who will be used in administration of this years exams and assessments.

Through the Curriculum Support Officers (CSOs) who help in doing the groundwork, TSC is selecting teachers who will work as Centre Managers, Supervisors and Invigilators.

TSC already published a circular guiding how this process should be done inline with Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) policies.

After selection teachers will be required to login to the CP2 portal and download the Knec deployment letter indicating their assignment.

Knec has introduced a raft of new changes affecting this years assessments and exams.

The Council has barred secondary school teachers from invigilating KCSE exams. Instead Knec has ordered primary school teachers to be used as invigilators.

However the secondary school teachers will be the ones to work as supervisors in KCSE which starts on 27th October.

Knec has also directed that primary school teachers not to be used as supervisors in the upcoming Grade 9 KJSEA.

The teachers can only be used as invigilators. Knec says these changes will address the issue of conflict of interest which is blamed for fueling exam irregularities.

“Supervisors and Invigilators should not be deployed to Centres that they have vested interest,” read the circular.

Knec also ordered that no supervisor or invigilator should be deployed in a school they have served in the last three years.

Teachers will be required to declare interest in the Examination Centre they are posted to through a declaration form by to be issued by Knec.

Secondary school teachers are the ones who will also be used as supervisors in the 2025 KJSEA.

Primary school teachers will only supervise the Grade 6 KPSEA which will take three days.
