Knec guidelines on conduct of 2021 learning assessments for grades 1 to 3 and classes 5 to 7

Leave a comment

The Kenya National Examinations Council, (KNEC) has released guidelines on the conduct of 2021 learning assessments for grades 1 to 3 and classes 5 to 7 under the Kenya GPE Covid 19 learning continuity in basic education (LCBE) project. The assessments will be administered from 18th to 22nd January 2021.

RE: CONDUCT OF LEARNING ASSESSMENTS FOR GRADES 1 TO 3 AND CLASSES 5 TO 7 UNDER THE KENYA GPE COVID -19 LEARNING CONTINUITY IN BASIC EDUCATION( LCBE) PROJECT

As you are aware, the Ministry of Education, through the Kenya National Examinations Council, (KNEC) conducted school-based learning assessments at Grade 4 and Standard 8 in October, 2020 when schools partially reopned.

As indicated in the recent circular, schools can access their subject specific results for Standard 8 from the LCBE Portal. Data processing for Grade 4 is progressing well despite delays in uploading of the scores by some of the schools.

Learning assessments for Grade 1 to 3 and Standard 5 to 7 for learners following the age-based/ regular curriculum, and for Foundation and Intermediate levels for the learners following the stage-based/ SNE pathway will be administered from 18th to 22nd January 2021.

The overarching aim of the envisaged assessments is to inform on possible learning gaps among the aforementioned learners during the long closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and suggest interventions to be put in place to address the gaps as learners progress through their second and third terms of their academic year.

The scope of the learning assessments will be as follows:

  • Standard 7 will be assessed in all the KCPE subjects.
  • Standard 5 and 6 will be assessed in English, Kiswahili, Mathematics and Science;
  • Grades 1 to 3 will be assessed in Fundamental Literacy and Numeracy
    (English Activities, Kiswahili Activities and Mathematics Activities).
  • For all subjects / learning areas, assessment items will be drawn from previous classes/ grades and Term 1 of the current class/grade. For instance, Standard 7 will be assessed from Standard 1 to 6, and Term 1 of Standard 7.
  • Learners following the Stage-based /SNE pathway will do assessments for Foundation and Intermediate level respectively.

As was the case with Grade 4 and Standard 8, administration of the learning assessments will follow the guidelines and assessment schedules provided by KNEC (these can be accessed from the LCBE portal).

It will also follow regulations upon which administration of assessments/ tests at school level is anchored.

Teachers will score and upload the scores onto the LCBE portal using the guidelines provided by KNEC. The guidelines are contained in the administrative documents already uploaded onto the LCBE portal alongside the assessment tools.

The purpose of this communication, therefore, is to inform of you the assessments and request that your school makes appropriate preparations for the assessments.

Please note that the reliability and integrity of the outcome of these assessments rests upon the Headteachers and teachers. You are, therefore, called upon to ensure that learners are provided with a natural environment in order to guard against extraneous variables that could affect their performance.

Uploading class 8 scores onto the LCBE portal; KNEC gives directions

Leave a comment

The Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC, has released a list of schools yet to upload their grade 4 and Class scores to LCBE portal. According to the list over 2,000 schools, countrywide, are yet to submit their class 8 scores despite the fact that the earlier deadline set for 20th November, 2020, had already elapsed.

“KNEC administered school based learning assessments for Grade Four (4) and Class Eight ( 8) from 26th to 30th October 2020, and schools have been scoring and uploading the scores onto the KNEC Assessment Portal using the correct formats provided by KNEC.” Reads a circular by KNEC Boss Dr. Mercy Karogo that is dated 7th December, 2020.

Karogo says the schools that are yet to upload their scores are derailing the Council’s plans to release the results.

“The Council is planning for data processing, analysis and compilation of reports on the findings of the Grade Four (4) and Class Eight ( 8) assessments from 7th December, 2020. The reports on the findings of the assessment shall be submitted to the Ministry of Education, the Teachers Service Commission( TSC) and disseminated to schools before 18th December, 2020.” Notes Dr. Karogo.

She now asks the affected schools to ensure the data is submitted online as soon as possible.

The Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC, has extended the deadline for uploading of the 2020 scores for grade 4 and class 8 into the LCBE portal. Through a circular sent to all school heads, the Council Boss Dr. Mercy Karogo says the new deadline will now be 20th November, 2020. This is after most schools failed to upload their marks due to congestion in the portal.

Below is the circular to all Head teachers

RE: SCHOOL BASED ASSESSMENTS UNDER THE LEARNING CONTINUITY IN BASIC EDUCATION PROJECT

As you are aware, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), on behalf of the Ministry of Education( MOE) conducted school-based learning assessments for Grade 4 and Standard 8 under the Kenya GPE COVID-19 Learning Continuity in Basic Education Project.

The overarching aim of the assessments was to establish learning gaps that may have been occasioned by the long period of closure due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, with a view to inform on interventions to be put in place towards addressing the gaps.

The Kenya National Examinations Council wishes to thank all Head teachers and teachers of the significant proportion of schools who have successfully uploaded the assessment scores, as well as those who are still uploading the scores.

It has, however, come to the attention of KNEC that the uploading exercise has been faced with challenges, which have slowed the process of uploading.

Cognizant of the challenges, and in order to ensure effective capture of all scores and allow for reliable reporting, KNEC wishes to give the following direction:

  • The deadline for uploading the scores has been extended to 20th November, 2020.
  • Schools shall upload the dully filled excel file, that was downloaded from the KNEC system, without real-time processing of scores. Upon successful uploading, an auto-message will be sent to the schools informing them that “processing shall be done within two (2) weeks”
  • Schools which may have challenges in uploading as guided in 4.2 above, will attach the dully filled excel file downloaded from the KNEC system, and send to the following KNEC e-mail address [email protected]. The file shall be processed within two (2) weeks and feedback shall be given.
  • Schools which still face challenges while uploading the scores can contact the Sub County Directors of Education (as guided in the Guidelines of administration of Assessments uploaded on the KNEC portal), or contact KNEC directly on; 0715477646 or 0772069891.
