Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) officials have affirmed of the Council’s readiness to conduct a smooth and secure assessment exercise as all school heads from Gucha Sub-county convened at Tendere Secondary School Hall for this year’s national examination briefing.
The event, spearheaded by KNEC officers Dr. Kennedy Okemwa and Pauline Aghah, outlined key details about the upcoming examinations.
Dr. Okemwa assured teachers that all logistics had been finalized, emphasizing KNEC’s commitment to transparency and efficiency throughout the examination period.
He reminded educators that under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) system, the goal is not merely to test learners but to assess their individual talents and abilities.
The Sub-county TSC Director Pamela Magunga also urged teachers to uphold integrity during the period, adding that those new to the examination process would receive adequate guidance.

On matters of security, Gucha OCPD Charles Arap Rono assured participants that adequate measures had been put in place and that police officers were fully prepared to secure all exam centres and the container.
Okemwa however stressed that no armed security personnel would be deployed at KPSEA and KJSEA centres unless in areas prone to insecurity, marking a shift from previous practices during KCPE and KCSE examinations.
