Looking for ways to check if your KCSE registration is successful? You’re in the right place. The Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC, has announced the registration for the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and Kenya Certificate of Primary education (KCPE) examinations. After registration, candidates and/ or schools can now be able to check the details of the registered candidates so as to ensure they are correct. This would also present parents/ guardians with a chance to ensure that their kids have been enlisted for this year’s national examinations. Cases of learners being turned away at the last minute for failing to be registered for the exams have been reported in the past.
Confirming registration details is also key as it provides candidates with an opportunity to ensure their names, gender, and subjects are accurate. In the past, candidates have been forced to sit for subjects they did not wish to undertake.
