The Kenya Certificate of Secondary School Education theory tests have started today on Monday, March 14, 2022.
The tests are administered in 10, 413 examination centres to the 831,015 Form Four students.
The KCSE papers are disseminated from 483 distribution centres nationwide.
The government said enough measures had been put in place to ensure the integrity of the test is not compromised.
Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has warned students and teachers not to indulge in any malpractices.
Kenya National Examination Council chief executive David Njengere said the body had provided guidelines to safeguard the integrity of the test and to avoid any form of leakage.
“The guidelines say no student is allowed to get out of the exam room before the period allocated to writing a paper is concluded except under very special occasions under strict oversight by the supervisors,” he said.
“Communication in the test rooms will not be allowed and neither will outsiders be allowed to access the school compounds.”
The chief executive said practical exams are to be taken in shifts where the separate student groups will be confined to avoid exposure to one another.
