The Ministry of Education has introduced a new way of giving index numbers to candidates in primary and secondary schools. The candidates will have their index numbers issued, not based on their performance in class, but admission to their schools.

The Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) acting Chief Executive Officer Mercy Karogo has instructed primary and secondary school heads to ensure candidates are allocated index numbers based on the admissions list.
