The first school-based assessment for Grade 4 learners starts next Monday, the Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) has announced.
This is the pioneer class of the 2-6-3-3-3 education system under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
The tests, to be administered and marked by teachers, will constitute 20 marks as broadly recommended by the CBC task force under the formative assessments plan.
This is the clearest indication that the government is keen to phase out the age-old 8-4-4 system as the implementation of proposals put forward by the CBC task force starts.
