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 Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (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.
The CS further directed KNEC to collaborate with KICD and the Teacher Service Commission (TSC) to interpret the report for learners and parents.
In addition, the CS issued instructions to KNEC to work with TSC and KICD, to give the government a report on the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) to inform ongoing curriculum reviews.
Machogu added that all 1,253,577 candidates who sat for the 2022 KPSEA exam will join the Junior Secondary Schools with the reporting date set for Monday, January 30, 2023.
He maintained that the Ministry will work with the Ministry of Interior to ensure that all students join Grade Seven in line with the government's 100 per cent transition policy.
School heads will be required to fill in data on the admission of learners to schools on the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) to enable monitoring of the students.
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.
Nonetheless, he maintained that the government was yet to abolish boarding schools in the country.
