Education CS Prof George Magoha said during the launch of KNEC’s strategic framework 2021-26 that 2022 will pose a test to the education sector in ensuring the safety of national examinations.
“This coming year shall test whether the transformation we have done at Kenya National Examination Council is sustainable or not,” Magoha said while launching KNEC’s strategic framework 2021-26.
“Instead of having the two normal exams (KCPE and KCSE), we are going to have five examinations,” he added.
According to the revised school calendar, the 2021 KCPE exams be written between March 7 and March 10, while KCSE will be conducted between March 11 to April 1.
These examinations will be the last to be done outside the traditional November-December school calendar.
