aboutevent 1

The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) will host The 39th Association for Education Assessment in Africa (AEAA) annual conference 21st to 25th August 2023, in Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi, Kenya.

The AEAA Local Organizing Committee(LOC) has also identified The Stadion Hotel as one of the key alternative accommodations for its delegates attending the meeting.

KNEC is honored to invite you to participate and present a paper at the conference. The sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) aims at ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. As we approach the 25th year of the new millennium, the achievement of the SDG 4 goal is still a global concern as several assessment bodies have not incorporated fair assessment that reflects the needs of diverse group of learners. The teaching professional also is slow in restructuring and empowering teachers with the best teaching approaches for inclusive learning that will create the best learning environment that is accessible for all students.

The 39th Association for Educational Assessment in Africa Annual Conference will focus on an array of aspects in educational assessment, with deliberate emphasis on integration of formative and summative assessment; as well as assessment of non-cognitive skills for the 21st Century skills. The theme of the conference therefore aims at eliciting dialogues that promote inclusivity across the entire pyramid of education, ensuring that no learner is left behind.

Namwamba initiates talks with Fifa to revive country's football

Ababu

The New Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba has initiated steps to resolve the dispute between Kenya and Fifa after calling the president of the world football governing body Gianni Infantino.

The development comes amid heightened activities witnessed in the country's football arena in recent days with stakeholders highly anticipating the return of top-flight action.

“On my Day One in the office today, I engaged Fifa on the phone to commence the process of resolving the impasse that has seen Kenya banned by the world football governing body. Government is committed to returning Kenyan football to normalcy in sync with the rule of law and the public good,” Namwamba confirmed.

“I'll be meeting different stakeholders in the coming days as we seek a permanent solution to the existing crisis,” Namwamba added.

Before his official appointment last Thursday, Namwamba had pledged to call Infantino on his first day in office. Namwamba said resolving the standoff between the country and the world football governing body remains his priority as he embarks on his term in office.

“We want to immediately get down to dealing with the Fifa imbroglio around FKF. I've been sufficiently briefed by the outgoing CS, ” he said.

While being ushered into office by his predecessor Amina Mohamed at a handover ceremony held at the Kenya National Library Services in Nairobi on Friday, Ababu received reports touching on the FKF crisis.

In an exclusive interview on Monday, the chief executive officer of the ousted federation Barry Otieno confirmed they had indeed met Namwamba at his office to unlock the impasse.

“We are really happy that the government has taken the initiative to resolve the impasse between the country and the world football governing body, Fifa.

“Of course, we wouldn't want to put the cart before the horse by revealing our plans but if everything goes according to plan, we are planning to start the top-flight league between November 12 and 18,” Otieno said.

He said they would ensure a return to normalcy in the event that they are cleared to regain control of the country's football.

On Thursday, FKF Transition Committee head of secretariat Lindah Oguttu bade the football fraternity farewell, her words announcing the end of the body's contentious mandate.

“It has been a great honour to serve on the FKF caretaker/Transition Committee for close to a year. We are done,” Oguttu said in a statement.

The Transition Committee was constituted on November 11 last year by the then Sports CS Amina Mohamed following the expulsion of the Nick Mwendwa-led federation by the government.

An announcement made by the Kenya Premier League caucus last week further fuelled speculations that the top-flight action is around the corner.

The caucus said it had officially opened the transfer window for the 2022/23 FKF Premier League off-season which is expected to run until November 28.

The caucus had previously decided to set the date of the new season for November 12 at a meeting attended by FKF chief executive officer Barry Otieno.

In a letter sent to the CEOs of the KPL clubs, the caucus chairman, Raymond Oruo also announced that the Fifa Integration System will be used during the exercise.
