Kenya National Examinations Council

Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) is the national body responsible for overseeing national examinations in Kenya. The council was formed in 1980 to conduct school, post-school and other examinations, after the dissolution of the East African Examinations Council (EAEC) and the Ministry of Education (ME). The KNEC was established under the Kenya National Examinations Council Act Cap 225A of the laws of Kenya, which was repealed and replaced with KNEC Act No.29 of 2012.

The KNEC is responsible for conducting the national examinations of KEPSEA, KCPE and KCSE, and for the management and development of education certification in Kenya.
