    INTRODUCTION

    Following the adoption of the Competency Based Curriculum into the Kenyan Education System, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) developed a Competency Based Assessment Framework (CBAF) for Basic Education guided by the Basic Education Curriculum Framework (BECF) and the Curriculum Designs for Early Years of Education (EYE).

    In this regard, KNEC has developed assessments tools to be used by schools to assess competency levels among Grade 3 learners who are currently undertaking the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC)
    The instructions herein are therefore to guide in identification and enrollment of all learners in Grade 3 in all schools for the administration of KEYA. It is therefore important that all those concerned with enrollment read and understand the contents of this communication before undertaking the enrollment exercise

    PROCEDURE FOR IDENTIFICATION/ENROLLMENT OF GRADE 3 LEARNERS

    Identification/enrollment of learners for the KEYA will be done ON-LINE and is
    scheduled to take place between 1 July and 30 August, 2019. All head-teachers are urged to ensure that all Grade 3 learners in their schools are identified and enrolled within the stipulated period.

    KNEC has developed a KEYA portal for use in enrolling Grade 3 learners. The portal is using data from National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) to enable head-teachers identify their learners.

    To access the KEYA Portal, head-teachers are expected to do the following:

    Visit the KNEC website and click on the link called ‘KEYA portal. – which will direct you to https://cba.knec.ac.ke

    Schools which already have a KNEC School Code will log into the KEYA portal using the KNEC School Code as the Username and the Password which they use during KCPE Examination Registration

    For Schools that do not have a KNEC School Code, the head-teacher will liaise with their respective Curriculum Support Officer (CSO) who will contact the relevant Sub County Director of Education (SCDE) for coding of the School and onward submission of the School Code details to KNEC to facilitate it’s activation.

     Upon successfully logging onto school account, the head-teacher shall be expected to click on the Menu provided on the extreme left of the portal and take the following steps:

     Step 1: Click on the KEYA E-readiness questionnaire and provide information required on the school’s capacity to administer KEYA;
     Step 2: Click ‘Identify/Enroll Learners’ to confirm whether all Grade 3 learners are captured in the KEYA portal provided through NEMIS. By clicking on the button Enroll’ which is on the extreme right on the screen, you will have enrolled the learner. If you wish to edit details on the learner who is already enrolled, click on the ‘Edit’ button;
     Step 3: Click the button “Add Learner’ to enroll a new Grade III learner who may be missing from the list of learners in your school from the data provided. You will be provided with an option to search details of a learner from the NFMIS database. If you choose NO, the portal will then allow you to register the learner.
    NB: The option of ‘SNE Pathway’ is for learners who have severe disab lities and do not follow the regular Pathway.

    The following are the details of the learner to be captured online:
     1). Name of the learner: The names used for KEYA enrollment shall be a replica of the
    official names of the learner as they appear in the Birth Certificate. The head teacher shall use the correct combination and order of names as they appear on the learner’s Birth Certificate.

     2). Gender of the learner: The gender of the learner shall be indicated as “M” for male or “F” for female.
