NEMIS

NEMIS. Ministry of Education introduced a new system where all learners in educational institutions, from nursery to university, are required to have a Unique Personal Identifier (UPI) number.

The six-character UPI is an inaugural measure to hinder the occurrence of fake certificates, curb the theft of public funds through ghost teachers and check the exaggerated student enrolment figures.

The number is similar to the PIN issued by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and in like manner, will track the progress of a student all through their academic life.
