New KCSE Results 2021-2022 Release (Tentative) Date and Venue Confirmed as CS Mgoha Earmarks April 22 as the Deadline for Marking the 2021 KCSE National Examinations
When will 2021 KCSE be released?
Are you wondering when the 2021 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, KCSE, conducted betweeen March and April this year will be released? The CS Education recently confirmed the tentative/ provisional release dates for the 2021-2022 KCSE Knec results.
According to the newly revised school calendar and term dates 2022-2023, the KCSE examination will end this Friday. KCSE Examiners will report to their marking centres as indicated in the KNEC invitation letters starting Monday next week.
They are expected to quickly harmonize and co-ordinate the marking schemes for all KCSE Papers for 2-3 days before going into the live marking of scripts as from Thursady next week.
The marking period slated for this year’s marking exercise amounts to 18 days within which the examiners would have marked all the scripts and cross checked the results before handing them over to the ICT gurus hired by KNEC for further processing.
Processing status of the 2021/2022 KCSE Results
The 2021 KCSE results will need a few days to process.
Therefore the provisional/tentative date for the release of the 2021/2022 KCSE examination results is April 23. In case of any changes, we will update you as time progresses.
Kindly remember that this is a tentative date. Therefore the examinations may be released earlier or later than the afore-mentioned KCSE results release date.
There are a few factors which may determine the exact date when the 2021/2022 KCSE results will be released in cluding the President’s schedule.
A good example is the unprcedented delayed release of the 2021/2022 KCPE this month after details emerged that the President’s diary was full and could no accomodate the brief by CS Magoha on KCPE 2021 results.
Remember that the CS’s power to release both ational examinations is clipped and he has to brief the President first before proceeding to release either results at Mtihani House along the Dennis Pritt Road.
Another key factor that will; determine the exact date for the release of the 2022 KCSE Results this April is the wilingness of KCSE examiners to mark the scripts without any form of interference.
In December 2020, the KCSE ex-aminers were able to finish marking the KCSE scripts within 14 days. In 2021, they however downed their tools for they did not want to settle for lesser KNEC payment rates.
NEW KNEC PAYMENT RATES FOR APRIL 2022 AND JANUARY 2023 KNEC KCSE EXAMINERS
KNEC recently reviewed the payment rates for all KCSE eaxminers upwards by Kshs 2 per script.
The latest KNEC review of KCSE examiners payment rates per script took place in December 2020.
In 2021, the examiners downed their tools and demonstrated over poor KNEC payment rates.
KUPPET backed the examiners saying that KNEC should raise examiners pay by a amargin of 23 to 47 Kenyan shilings and pay them a flat rate of at least Kshs 100 for each script marked. Curretly, there are huge disparities in the KNEC KCSE payment rates with some examiners earning as low as Kshs 56 per script while the highest paid KNEC KCSE Examiner walks home with Kshs 77 per script.
