Dr. Ruto said arrangements for this year’s national assessments have been completed, adding that all stakeholders — including candidates, teachers, parents, invigilators, and supervisors — are expected to work together to ensure a smooth and credible process.
This year marks a significant milestone in Kenya’s education system as the first cohort of Grade 9 learners will sit the inaugural Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA), a key component of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
Other groups expected to sit national exams include Grade 6 pupils taking the KPSEA, learners under the Kenya Integrated Learners Education Assessment (KILEA), and those undertaking the Kenya Pre-Vocational Level Education Assessment.
The President’s message follows a briefing he received from Education Cabinet Secretary Migos Ogamba and senior ministry officials on the state of preparedness ahead of the national examinations.
