Knec issues guidelines as KPSEA Candidates’ Registration Begins: Kenya National Examination Council has kicked off the registration for KPSEA and KILEA assessment tests for 2024.
The registration for learners wishing to sit the KILEA and KPSEA assessments started on January 29 and will end on March 29, 2024.
Consequently, KNEC CEO David Njengere has directed all school heads to ensure all learners who are in Grade 6 are registered afresh for the assessment as was the case in 2023 using the KPSEA Registration portal
He stated,”Please note that the KNEC Registration portal shall be closed on March 29, 2024, and there will be no provision for late registration of candidates once the portal is closed.”
Candidates will sit for KPSEA and KILEA exams on October 28 to 31, 2024. KILEA is administered to learners in the Intermediate Level who are ready to transition to the Pre-vocational Level.
He however, warned against the registration of ghost candidates highlighting that this constitutes assessment malpractice.
He stated,”Registration of ghost candidates will attract sanctions, including de-registration of the school as a KNEC examination centre.”
Therefore, school heads should edit and double check the candidates’ biodata where applicable to ensure the accuracy of the registration data for all learners.
He said,”The transfer of candidates must be done online to avoid duplication of candidates.”
Notably, Knec said all eligible KPSEA candidates must be registered in the Grade 6 portal first in order to be assigned an Assessment Number.
“The Assessment number is mandatory for registration. Upon registration, the head of the institution must make sure that the learners’ SBA scores for Grades 4 and 5 are uploaded,”he Said.
