Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu announced that the results of the 2022 Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) will be released on Tuesday, January 17.
Speaking at the KICD, Machogu announced that the marking was complete and that the results would be available on the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) portal.
" I am happy to announce that the exercise has already been completed and that schools will be able to access the reports through the KNEC portal from tomorrow, Tuesday 17," he declared.
Machogu added that all 1,253,577 candidates who sat the 2022 KPSEA exam will join the junior secondary schools.
The CS further directed KNEC to collaborate with the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) and the Teacher Service Commission (TSC) to interpret the report for learners and parents.
In addition, KNEC was given instructions to work with the TSC and KICD, to give the government a report on the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
"I order the Council to hold discussions with TSC and KICD on the national KPSEA report with a view of providing feedback on CBC that can reform ongoing curriculum reviews," he reiterated.
Students will be required to report to their respective junior secondary schools on January 30, 2023.
The Education boss revealed that President William Ruto's government set aside Ksh9.6 billion in capitation- Ksh15,000 for each student joining Grade Seven in public schools.
"This means that no school should charge any fees for any learners except those which have boarding wings," Machogu declared.
He maintained that the Ministry would work with the Ministry of Interior to ensure that all students will join Grade Seven in line with the 100 per cent transition policy.
