Schools Given 2 Days To Submit Grade 3,4,5&7 Assessment Scores
Public and private schools have until August 11, 2023, to upload the results of the national assessment for students in grades 3, 4, 5, and 7, which is administered by the Kenya National Examination Council (Knec).
Knec had published circulars to direct the assessment of the students and had offered assessment tools that schools had to download and use.
By August 11th, teachers had to grade and transmit the assessment results to the online platform.
The first stage of the assessment, which included a project and practical activities, has been completed in the majority of schools.
Additionally, because Grades 3 and 7 students were not on the system, Knec requested that schools register them before posting students’ grades.
The Grade 3 students completed Integrated Learning Assessments (ILA) for their projects and practicals. The Grade 3 evaluation included all subject areas.
Projects and practicals were completed for seven disciplines in grades 4 and 5. Agriculture, art and craft, music, social studies, home science, and physical and health education were among them.
For nine courses, students in grade 7 completed projects and practicals. The following were included: performing arts, visual arts, English, home science, integrated science, health education, physical education, and sports, as well as religious education for Muslims and Hindus.
The written Knec exams for students in Grades 4 and 5 as well as Grades 3 and 7 will be administered next term from October 2 through October 26.
Activities for Grade 3 students in English and mathematics will be included in the written exams.
Maths, English, Kiswahili, Kenya Sign Language, Science and Technology, Physical Health Education, Agriculture, Home Science, Social Studies, Art and Craft and Religious Education will all be covered in the assessments for students in Grades 4 and 5.
Students in grade 7 will be evaluated in both required and elective areas. The fifteen subjects that will be tested in writing were provided by Knec.
Because they are preparing for their last assessment, the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA), which will be administered concurrently with the KCPE, grade 6 students were not assessed and will not be assessed.
The written exams will be administered in pdf and digital format, according to a Knec circular dated April 17 that was sent to sub county directors and the heads of primary and special schools.

Individual students will need to log onto the web portal in digital format using their unique assessment numbers.
After logging in, students can access the assessment tools immediately using digital devices such the tablets offered by the school’s Digital Learning Programme (DLP).
Students will be required to respond to writing prompts that the school will present.
Schools will have access to and download the tools in PDF format.
Then, either in printed form, projected on a screen, or written on the board, the assessment instruments will be delivered to the students.
Learners may write their responses on the question paper or on the offered writing materials provided by the school, depending on the format used.
Knec added that colourful visuals on evaluation tools should be printed in colour or placed onto the school’s digital devices.
Using different answer papers that the school has provided, the students should respond to the questions. The exams should be carried out in shifts in schools with subpar digital equipment.
All records and evidence resulting from the assessments must be maintained by the headteacher.
The items needed for the assessments should be found around the school or, to the greatest extent possible, improvised.
