It is a relief for thousands of 2020 candidates without the National Education Management Information System, Nemis, after the council decided to remove the requirement. The students registering for this year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) were required to produce their Unique Personal Identifiers, UPIs, that are generated via Nemis.

Most schools had reported difficulties in uploading the candidates’ data as most lacked the UPIs. Most affected were repeaters who could not remember the Nemis numbers; generated at their former schools.

“We have about eighty five repeaters and only ten were able to produce the numbers. This has really slowed down our registration process,” said one Principal who sought anonymity.
