    "content": "Hon. Speaker, in response to the first part of the Question, on the issue of examinations being held at different times, the Cabinet Secretary responds as follows: The Ministry of Education issued a circular dated 3rd December 2020 referenced MOE/CONF/G5, especially on KCSE, Kenya Primary Schools Education Assessment (KPSEA) and KCPE, and revised the term dates as follows: In this regard, KNEC revised its schedule of activities to adhere to the new term dates set by the Ministry of Education. The timetables for the 2022 KPSEA, Kenya Intermediate Level Education Assessment (KILEA) and KCPE examinations were shared with the relevant education stakeholders in April 2022. All the activities, in preparation for the conduct of examinations, have been guided by the dates set out in the examination timetables which were provided by KNEC. They have given a reference date. The KNEC has completed the process of development, printing, packing and centering of the 2022 KPSEA, KILEA and KCPE examinations. The packing and centering of the examination materials was completed and customised to include the dates in the approved timetables. The schools have prepared the 2022 candidates using the term dates and the learners are ready for the examinations as per the timetable. Changing the timetable dates and times at this late stage will, therefore, have major ramifications. The administration of the 2022 KCSE examination is scheduled to start with the small papers, or exam papers with small number of candidates, on 21st November 2022 – which was about three days ago – and the large papers, or papers with big number of candidates, on 2nd December 2022 immediately after the end of the KPSEA and KCPE examinations. The administration of KCSE examinations large papers will require the engagement of all KNEC key personnel. Thus, it is very difficult for them to have any other major activity running within the period of administration of the large papers for KCSE examination, in case of the rescheduling of any examination."
