It is Back to Work for TSC Field Officers Ahead of National Examinations.
All TSC field officers are expected to report back to work ahead of the KCSE and KCPE national examinations. The Teachers Service Commission has issued firm instructions requiring those on leave to report back to work by October 16.
According to the commission’s chief executive officer, Nancy Macharia, field officers play an integral role in national examination preparation.
The move to recall all field officers on leave is part of a larger framework under implementation concerning national examination preparation. The role of the field officers will involve facilitating and monitoring KCSE and KCPE across the country.
Unlike previous years, they will also be responsible for overseeing the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA).
Information from the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) reveals that KCPE and KPSEA will take place simultaneously. Rehearsal for these examinations will commence on October 27, with the examinations expected to kick off on Monday, October 30, and end on Wednesday, November 1.
KNEC has also set the start date for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). The examination will begin on Thursday, October 10, and end on Friday, November 24.
To boost confidence levels among parents, the Teachers Service Commission CEO Nancy Macharia says that the vetting process for supervisors, invigilators, and examiners is already complete.
Macharia was speaking during the 2023 national examination period launch in the presence of the Education Cabinet Secretary, Ezekiel Machogu, Principal Secretaries Belio Kipsang, and Raymond Omollo.
The 2023 national examinations will adapt a multisector approach involving three ministries, including the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Interior, and the Ministry of ICT.
