The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) is set to introduce online assessments in senior schools starting in 2027, marking a significant transition from traditional paper-based exams.

• This initiative aims to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and provide personalized student data for early interventions, building on successful e-assessments in teacher-training colleges where over 37,000 trainees have been examined digitally.
• Key organizations involved are the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and the Ministry of Education.
• The move will enhance students' digital literacy and incorporate adaptive technologies to support learners with special needs, though challenges like ICT infrastructure and cybersecurity risks are being addressed.
