The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has introduced online registration of K.C.P.E candidates. Many schools had not seen the system produced by KNEC, since being the first time to register online. N’garua Maarifa Centre visited the site and downloaded the registration form.
KNEC had stated that schools had to have access to a computer and the internet, those who don’t should visit any cyber cafe which are connected to the internet and ask for assistance. For that reason one of our former students and head teacher in one of the schools around this area called the Maarifa center seeking assistance. Through him other schools got information and came to the center to be assisted with registration, which was not easy because it was a piloting project for the KNEC.
In February a workshop was organized by the Kenya Telecenter Network (KENTEL), the two chances given to ALIN were allocated to two representatives from N’garua, Samuel Wambugu and Bett Kipsang who attended the workshop. The knowledge generated at the workshop has helped us to identify ways of helping rural communities through our Maarifa center. Registration of candidates involves data entry to the system which is provided by KNEC. So far, 24 candidates 17 being boys and 7 being girls have been registered at the Maarifa center.
Other school used the software downloaded from the Maarifa center and the following records of pupils have been registered.
