The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has since directed Sub-County Directors to identify, nominate and vet centre managers, supervisors and invigilators who will spearhead the exercise and deploy them by October 18, 2022.
TSC, in a statement issued by CEO Nancy Macharia, further told the Directors to ensure that a ratio of one invigilator for every 20 students, and one supervisor for every 200 candidates is adhered to.
“No supervisor should be employed for hosted and KPSEA centres except for centres with KPSEA candidates only. You are required to deploy invigilators to hosted and KPSEA centres based on the number of candidates in the examination centre,” noted Ms Macharia.
“Take note that the number of supervisors and invigilators should be adhered to especially during optional papers. The centre managers should ensure only the required number of supervisors and invigilators report each day or examinations and online attendance is taken daily. This will ensure teachers will not be idling in examination centres with no role to play.”
