Education stakeholders say the prolonged closure of schools may have resulted in learning losses, which may be unearthed by the evaluation.
Over 30,000 schools have up to the end of next week to prepare children for mass assessments to evaluate learners’ understanding of subjects, 10 months after closure of schools.
The Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) said the Learning Continuity in Basic Education (LCBE) assessments should be administered two weeks after reopening.
“These assessments will be administered from January 18 to 22,” said Knec acting Chief Executive Officer Mercy Karogo.
