The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has announced a significant reduction in police deployment during this year’s administration of the Grade Nine examinations.
KNEC Chief Executive Dr David Njengere revealed that there will be no police officers present during the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA). For the Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA), only one police officer will be deployed per centre, tasked with collecting and returning examination scripts from storage containers.
