EDUCATION CABINET SECRETARY FRED MATIANG'I ANNOUNCES THE NEW CHANGES THEY MADE TO KCPE AND KCSE

Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has revealed the new measures the ministry has introduced to curb exam cheating.

Candidates set to sit for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams will not have to write their personal details on their answer sheets.

According to the CS, the answer sheets are already printed with their full names, a coloured passport photograph, index numbers, school names and school codes.

Sources at the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) have conveyed that the new features will help prevent impostors from sitting for exams on behalf of the registered candidates.

Multiple choice answer sheets, mostly used by the Primary School candidates, will also be marked by new, more sophisticated scanners.
