The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has flagged a notice circulating on social media claiming that the council is recruiting more than 230,000 professionals to oversee the 2026 national examinations.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

In an advisory issued on Monday, September 28, KNEC said the notice was fake and had not originated from the council.

The examination body urged the public to disregard the notice, warning that fraudsters could use the fake recruitment drive to deceive unsuspecting applicants.

The fake notice claimed that the council was seeking to recruit 230,000 professionals to oversee this year's KPSEA, KJSEA and KCSE.

📌 What You Need to Know

Among the positions allegedly up for grabs were invigilators, supervisors, examiners, assessors, security personnel, logistics security personnel officers, and supporting staff across the country.

However, KNEC has labelled the notice as fake, calling on members of the public to rely only on its website and verified social media pages for any information regarding the recruitment.

A spot check by Kenyans.co.ke has further revealed that there are currently no such openings on the KNEC website.

It is worth noting that the council, together with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), has begun identifying teachers to administer the 2026 national examinations and assessments.

On September 4, Curriculum Support Officers (CSOs) began engaging with Heads of Institutions to collect details of teachers who could be deployed as Center Managers, Supervisors, and Invigilators.

The information would then be entered into KNEC's CP2 online deployment system, which will prevent teachers from being assigned to schools where they have worked in the previous three years.
