KCSE theory exams kick off
The Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) theory examinations began on Monday, with Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba overseeing the distribution of papers at the Kibra DCC container.
This year, a total of 965,501 candidates are registered for the exams across 10,754 centres nationwide.
On the first day, candidates will take the English Functional Skills paper in the morning, followed by Chemistry Paper 1 in the afternoon.
Mathematics Paper 1 is scheduled for Tuesday morning, with the English comprehension paper to follow in the afternoon.
The national exams officially commenced on October 22, when candidates began their oral and practical exams for elective subjects. The examinations will continue until November 22, when candidates will sit for the physics practical.
To enhance exam integrity and curb cheating, the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has introduced new measures, including personalizing exam papers and not printing extra copies.
KNEC CEO David Njeng’ere emphasized that center managers must ensure that only authorized personnel can access examination rooms and that the use of unauthorized technology or devices is strictly prohibited in exam areas.
KNEC has implemented additional security measures to uphold the integrity of the KCSE.
