TSC Honors Long-Serving KCPE Examiners: Recognizing Excellence

TSC Honors Long-Serving KCPE Examiners. In a pivotal moment for the education sector, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is set to applaud the unwavering commitment of veteran examiners for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia made this announcement during the official release of the 2023 KCPE results at the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) headquarters in South B, Nairobi, on November 23.

Commending Years of Dedication and Academic Commitment in the Education Landscape

Macharia, expressing TSC’s dedication to acknowledging service spanning over three decades, shed light on the significant role played by 234,473 teachers who served as invigilators, supervisors, and center managers. Additionally, 7,250 teachers took on the crucial responsibility of being examiners.

Emphasizing the importance of teacher development, Macharia encouraged educators to embrace the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). TSC’s commitment extends beyond recognition, aiming to equip teachers for effective CBC implementation while aligning rewards with performance.

During the announcement, Macharia extended condolences to the families of Dr. Sally Mutinda and Ahmed Nur Ismail, recognizing their contributions to education.

Education CS Ezekiel Machogu officially released the results, commending the remarkable performance of candidates. A staggering 1,415,315 students participated in the exams, with approximately 1.2 million concurrently taking the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) for the second consecutive year.

Providing historical context, KNEC CEO David Njeng’ere revealed that since its inception, the KCPE examination has impacted over 26 million candidates. He also highlighted the international dimension, with South Sudanese nationals participating from 2005 to 2008.

Acknowledging the pivotal role of 28,533 KCPE center managers, Njeng’ere expressed gratitude to the 5,692 examiners who played a crucial part in assessing English composition, Kiswahili Insha, and Kenyan Sign Language composition.

Despite weather challenges in some regions, these educators ensured the smooth execution of both KCPE and KPSEA examinations. Stay informed by subscribing to our newsletter for continuous updates on educational milestones.
