Deputy Principals & Headteachers, Science Teachers

Unfortunately, KNEC failed to factor payment for Deputy Head Teachers and Deputy Principals even though their presence plays a vital role during the examination period as assistant Centre Managers.

At the same time, teachers handling science subjects walked home empty-handed. These teachers are required to prepare and administer practicals during the KCSE examinations.

KCSE EXAMINERS 2024-2025

We have updated the new KNEC payment rates for this year’s KCSE examiners. According to the newly released KCSE Examiners payment rates per day, the least-paid KCSE 2023/2024 KNEC Examiner will pocket Kshs. 2,000 per day while the highest paid will walk home with an average of Kshs. 3, 000 per day. The average pay for most KCSE examiners ranges between Kshs 24,000 to Kshs 40,000. Take note of the fact that the KNEC pay for KCSE 2023 examiners entails a wholesome perk that encompasses travel expenses and a coordination fee of Kshs. 150 per day. Consequently, KNEC cannot pay a similar amount for all the KCSE 2023 examiners.
