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.
