The CS said the involvement of parents and guardians during the verification of KPSEA and KCPE candidates was important. He said schools should capture the names of the candidates correctly as they will be used in other examinations.

He asked Head Teachers and Sub County Directors of Education to ensure accuracy of the correct name of the candidate as per the birth certificate; gender; year of birth; citizenship; subjects entered.

Magoha said the transfer of candidates once registration is completed will not be done.

He, however, said special cases related to illness and insecurity will be handled appropriately once brought to the attention of KNEC through the SCDE.
