NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 2- The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has released details of the 2020 Grade 4 assessments that will form 20 percent of the final Grade 6 mark under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KNEC Chief Executive Officer Mercy Karogo said the council will upload Grade 4 age-based and intermediate level stage-based assessment tools by March 7 for schools to use and access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karogo called on schools to download and administer the assessment tools, scores and upload the results of Grade 4 learners on the Council\u2019s CBC assessment portal between March 8 and 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaterials required for performing the assessment tasks should be improvised as much as possible within the immediate school environment,” Karogo said in a statement issued onTuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said that learners, who were in Grade 4 last year, will not be assessed in indigenous and foreign languages and urged schools to await guidelines and implementation of the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The KNEC boss pointed out that each learner in the database will be issued with an assessment number, automatically generated by the Council ICT system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The number will be used to identify the learners during future assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSchools will be expected to inform parents and learners of their assessment numbers which will be used throughout their basic education cycle for KNEC assessment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learners including Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate Secondary Examinations (KCSE) candidates are set to sit for their examinations from March 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KCPE exams will be concluded on March 24 with the KCSE examination marking expected to commence on April 19 and be concluded on May 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schools re-opened in Kenya on January 4 following a 10-month break over the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schools were closed in March 2020 when the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in the country, with partial re-opening done in October for Form 4, Class 8 candidates and Grade 4 pupils.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
