Form Four candidates across the country are set to start their theory papers for the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education on Monday.
Some 903,260 candidates will be sitting this year’s KCSE exam.
Candidates will sit Chemistry Paper 1 and English Paper 1 on the first day of the theory tests.
On Tuesday, candidates will sit for Maths Paper 1 and English Paper 2.
On November 8, candidates will sit for Chemistry Paper 2 and English Paper 3.
On Thursday, November 9 the learners will be tested in Kiswahili Lugha Paper 2 and Kiswahili Insha Paper 1.
While for the entire Friday, the candidates will do their Chemistry practicals.
The exams started on October 23 with practical papers and will run for a whole month till the end of November.
Basic Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang will launch the theory tests at the Westlands subcounty containers where exam centre managers will be picking the papers.
KNEC CEO David Njeng’ere on his part will launch the theory papers at the deputy county commissioner's office in Kiambu Town where centre managers will be picking exam papers.
Speaking to the Star in October, Njeng’ere said the council has put in place measures to curb leakage of the national examination.
To end early exposure of the examination material – the main avenue of leaking exams – Njeng’ere said they have obtained additional containers to be distributed across the country for the safe-keeping of the exams.
This will ensure that afternoon exams are not picked up in the morning as they used to be instead they will be picked up hours before the test.
The containers will therefore help reduce the distance between schools and collection points.
