Kenyans who want their certificates earned abroad to be recognised by the Kenya National Examinations Council will have to adhere to several strict new guidelines, the council has announced.
In a statement released on Monday, April 14, KNEC announced revised guidelines for the equation of foreign certificates, which will henceforth take place via a dedicated online platform - the Query Management Information System (QMIS).
According to the council, the move is primarily aimed at improving the efficiency and transparency of processing academic credentials for both school and post-school levels.
One of the conditions KNEC listed to make one eligible for the equation process is that the foreign certificate should have been awarded by an accredited examining board or an institution authorised by law to conduct examinations and issue certificates.
