KCPE 2020/2021 Official release date
Confirming the news, Education Cabinet Secretary Professor George Magoha on April 5, 2020 said the 2020 KCPE examination results will be released in the next two weeks if things go as planned.
The CS further noted that the marking of multiple choices papers was already done and that marking of English Composition and Kiswahili Insha by Knec Contracted Examiners was in progress.
“We had a schedule and in the inside of the next two weeks, the results will be out,” said Professor Magoha, adding that should there be any changes to the schedule, the same will be communicated by his office.
He was speaking in Kisumu town after supervising the distribution of KCSE exam paper to schools.
Knec records low KCPE 2021 Examiners Turnout
Further, the CS said that the Covid-19 pandemic had posed a great challenge to the Ministry of Education as some examiners were unable to show up for the marking owing to the current movement restriction in the country.
This was as a result of the partial lockdown of some counties, while others decided not to turn up due to their fears over the Covid-19 pandemic.
Knec had done its bit to ensure that all examiners turn up for the 2021 marking exercise by organizing for their transportation to Nairobi.
The examiners were to be picked at various designated collection points in each county as scheduled by Knec.
On arrival they were expected to produce specific documents including the Knec letter and SMS inviting them for marking and their National identity card.
They were then issued with special passes to enable them traverse the locked counties including Nairobi and Nakuru.
However, Prof. Magoha noted that the low turnout of KCPE 2021 Knec Examiners has so far not interfered with the schedule and that his Ministry had done enough to ensure the results are delivered on time.
“As I said, we are on track. We shall keep updating you on the progress, and we shall keep sharing any events that we find necessary,” he said.
Prof. Magoha said his office will continue to monitor the examinations across the country despite reports of irregularities.
“Today marks the third week of the examinations, and we are proceeding extremely well, considering all things. The examination has gone as per the schedule, except a few tricks that I warned about earlier,” he said, adding that such cases will be dealt with accordingly.
The CS concluded by saying that this year’s examinations had so far experienced low integrity issues as only 15 people and 15 phones had been confiscated adding that if the phones are found with examination content, then necessary actions will be taken against their respective owners.
