The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has issued a critical directive aimed at parents and guardians of candidates sitting for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and the Kenya Primary School Examinations (KPSEA) this year. With the examinations looming, KNEC underscores the importance of ensuring that candidates are properly registered and their data accurately captured.
In a statement released by KNEC, parents are urged to confirm their child’s registration status and ensure that all necessary information has been correctly entered into the system. The directive emphasizes the imminent deadline for registration, which is set to close on the 29th of March, just one week away.
The council emphasizes two key points in their directive:
No Extension of Deadline: KNEC unequivocally states that there will be no extension granted beyond the March 29th deadline. This means that any requests for late registration will not be entertained under any circumstances. It is a firm reminder to parents to take immediate action to ensure their child’s registration is completed before the cutoff date.
No Changes to Photographs: Additionally, KNEC highlights that there will be no opportunity for changes to photographs for KCSE candidates after the registration period closes. This serves as a crucial warning to parents to ensure that the submitted photographs are accurate and meet the required specifications before the deadline.
The directive underscores the importance of timely action, urging parents to visit their child’s school promptly to verify registration details and ensure accuracy. It serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of missing the registration deadline, potentially jeopardizing a candidate’s chance to sit for the examinations.
KNEC concludes the statement with a poignant reminder to parents: “DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD MISS THE EXAM!” This impassioned plea underscores the gravity of the situation and the importance of timely compliance with registration requirements.
As the deadline fast approaches, parents and guardians are urged to heed KNEC’s directive and take immediate action to ensure their child’s registration for the upcoming KCSE and KPSEA examinations. Failure to do so could have serious implications for the candidates’ academic futures.
