Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) has raised the bar for teachers who will be recruited as examinations' supervisors or invigilators.
In a document, Knec acting chief executive officer Mercy Karogo said only government employed teachers will be recruited as supervisors.
"With a minimum qualification of diploma in Education or Approved Teacher Status (ATS) grade or higher," said the CEO.
The offer has been extended to public service employees in job group K and above. However, they must be experienced teachers and examiners.
P1 teachers applying to be supervisors must have served as invigilators before.
"P1 teachers with five years' teaching experience, three years of which he or she must have participated in the invigilation of Knec examinations... may be considered for supervision duties," read the guidelines.
For invigilators, Knec wants teachers with P1 grade or higher qualifications, also registered and working with TSC.
"They must have teaching experience of one year or more and be persons of integrity," says KNEC.
