Reasons for Advertising Knec Examiners’ Training September/October 2021
The national examiner, Knec usually advertises/ announces training slots to meet the ever ballooning demand for more examiners following increased enrollment for the two main transitional national tests that is KCPE and KCSE.
The candidature has been steadily increasing over the years following the roll out of novel government policies especially the 100 per cent transition policy a few years ago and the scrapping of KCSE and KCPE registration fee for fresh candidates that hindered many from enrolling for the examinations.
