AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> The Teachers Service Commission(TSC) has issued a new directive\u00a0on the marking of the KCPE\/KCSE 2021 examinations.<\/p>\n

TSC boss Nancy Macharia stipulated that all examiners ought to be given special Covid-19 passes to access marking centres in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

This is in a bid to comply with new directives issued by President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday, March 26, and ensure that marking is done in time.<\/p>\n

President Uhuru Kenyatta gives his 15th Presidential address on the Covid-19 pandemic at State House, Nairobi on March 26, 2021.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

During the Presidential address, Uhuru\u00a0revoked all covid-19 passes\u00a0as a form of mitigating the spread of the virus. The Head of State\u00a0added that a section of those with the passes abused the privileges.<\/p>\n

“I direct the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government and the Ministry of Health\u00a0to immediately review the protocols for reissuance of curfew passes and exemptions. In that regard, in the intervening period all passes issued are hereby vacated,” Uhuru stated.<\/p>\n

About 7,000 examiners had been contracted by Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) in order to ensure examination process runs smoothly.<\/p>\n

The news comes after\u00a0Education CS George Magoha, in an earlier address,\u00a0affirmed that KCPE marking would be done in due time. He added that the exam marking is 35% complete.<\/p>\n

“The KCPE exam marking is 35% complete. So, the progress is well and we shall be complete as per the schedule,” Magoha stated.<\/p>\n

Initially, TSC had recalled all teachers on annual leave in a bid to ensure the examination period goes according to plan.<\/p>\n

TSC boss Macharia affirmed that all\u00a0necessary measures\u00a0had been taken to ensure that the exercise is conducted in line with the Covid-19 protocols.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commission has already issued guidelines that emphasize the need for all teachers who will be involved in the examination exercise to comply with all COVID-19 mitigation measures provided by the Ministry of Health,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
