- KNEC has returned nominal rolls to schools for verification and correction of missing assessment marks.
- A significant number of affected learners have been identified as those who transferred schools without complete marks capture.
- Schools have been urged to urgently trace missing marks and resolve uploading gaps to avoid incomplete KPSEA and KJSEA results.
Learners whose assessment marks remain missing could face incomplete KPSEA and KJSEA results unless schools urgently resolve gaps identified in their assessment records.
The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has returned nominal rolls to institutions for verification and correction.
The exercise has placed heads of institutions on high alert, particularly over learners who transferred from one school to another and candidates whose marks could not be uploaded due to technical difficulties during the submission period.
According to West Pokot County Quality Assurance and Standards Officer Philemon Rop, findings from the verification exercise indicate that a significant number of the affected learners were those who had transferred from their previous schools, where some marks had not been captured before the transfers.
Rop said heads of the receiving institutions may have to contact the learners’ former schools and request the missing marks to ensure that the candidates’ assessment records are completed.
He identified a second category of affected learners as those whose marks were not successfully uploaded because headteachers encountered network problems or congestion on the KNEC portal while attempting to submit the assessment scores.
KNEC’s return of the nominal rolls provides schools with an opportunity to identify such gaps and take corrective action before the assessment results are finalised.
For transferred learners, the process requires close coordination between former and current schools. While a learner may have physically moved to a new institution, some assessment information may remain with the previous school and must be traced and submitted through the appropriate procedures.

Rop urged heads of institutions to treat the exercise as an urgent administrative responsibility, warning that failure to resolve the anomalies could result in affected candidates having missing or incomplete results.
Heads of institutions are expected to scrutinise the rolls carefully, trace missing marks from former schools where necessary and address uploading gaps through the prescribed channels.
