The PWPER has suggested the following format for the examination of learners:
The learner’s performance on the evaluation at the end of the sixth grade will not determine whether or not they move on to the junior secondary school.

Grade 9 & 12 to Take National Exams As KNEC Renamed KNAC
The group has suggested changing the name of the Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) to the Kenya National Assessment Council (Knac).
In the beginning, it was proposed that school-based assessments make up sixty percent of the total, but now there is a suggestion to reduce that percentage to forty percent.
This indicates that the learners’ performance on internal assessments will only count for forty percent of their overall mark, with the remaining sixty percent coming from their final exams.
