KUCCPS Ignites Debate with Proposed Student Assessment Tests Prior to Placement

KUCCPS Ignites Debate with Proposed Student Assessment Tests Prior to Placement

The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has revealed plans to implement new assessment tests for students prior to their placement into higher education institutions.

The initiative is designed to enhance course selection by matching students’ strengths and interests with appropriate career paths.

However, the proposal has elicited mixed responses from both students and parents. Many are questioning the timing and transparency of the new tests, as KUCCPS has yet to disclose the precise format or when the assessments will be rolled out.

Students, already facing pressure from national examinations, express that the addition of another test may heighten academic stress. “We’re already under significant pressure with KCSE. Introducing another test feels daunting,” stated a Form Four student in Nairobi.

Parents have similarly voiced concerns, questioning whether the tests will genuinely reflect a child’s potential. “What sort of test will shape my child’s future? And who will create it? ” inquired Jane Auma, a parent from Kisumu.

Despite the controversy, KUCCPS maintains that the initiative aims to mitigate course mismatches and drop-out rates in universities and colleges.

They assert that early career guidance is essential in ensuring students navigate towards fields that align with their capabilities and aspirations.

Yet, without explicit details on how the assessments will be implemented, many remain doubtful. Issues regarding transparency, fairness, and execution still linger.

As the conversation continues, KUCCPS has committed to additional stakeholder consultations. But at this moment, uncertainty prevails, leaving students and parents awaiting definitive answers.

Over 600,000 students to joins TVETs

Leave a comment

The Principal Secretary for Education has said that over 600,000 students who attained grades of C and below in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), will be joining the Technical Vocational Education and Training Institutions across the country.

Speaking at the Machakos Technical Institute for the Blind in Machakos town, Principal Secretary for TVET Ministry of Education Dr. Margaret Mwakima said  that they are reforming TVET and are ready to enroll and admit all those who have grade C and below  to various colleges.

“We are reforming TVET through our curriculum, assessment and placement to make them a pathway for education and among those we are admitting from the statistics that we have is over 600,000, which is 70 per cent who have grade C and below,” said Dr. Mwakima.

Dr. Mwakima said they are appraising the kind of facilities, equipment and programs that are provided for the special needs children and how it will help in developing their skills to contribute in the social economic development in the country.

“We need to know whether the equipment we have invested in these institutions are realizing the needs for the youth, to be able to gainfully contribute to the social economic development, as well as the Big 4 Agenda and their own livelihoods,” added Dr. Mwakima.

Dr. Mwakima said School Principals were agreeable on some of the reforms they need to bring into place such as improving infrastructure so that the special needs children will have access to various laboratories, devices and equipment that are required to improve their skills.

Earlier in June, Dr. Mwakima spoke in Eldoret at a Research Conference where she said that Technical colleges have recorded a 400 per cent increase in enrollment since 2013 due to increased government support and expansion of facilities in all the institutions in the country.

The PS added that financing through Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and Sh 30,000 allocated by the government to support each student, has contributed to rising enrollment while development partners have also played a role in equipping technical colleges to enhance training capacity.

CS Magoha speech during the release of the 2020/2021 KUCCPS placement results

Leave a comment

Here is the full speech by Education CS George Magoha during the release of the 2020/2021 placement of Government-sponsored students to universities and colleges;

“PLACEMENT OF THE 2019 KENYA CERTIFICATE OF SECONDARY  EDUCATION (KCSE) CANDIDATES TO UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES FOR THE 2020/2021 ACADEMIC CALENDAR

The Ministry of Education, through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), has completed the placement exercise of the 2019 KCSE candidates to various courses in Universities and Colleges.

The placement of students to universities targeted the 2019 KCSE examination group, while the placement to TVET institutions targeted both the 2019 group and youth from previous examination years dating back to 1994.

In the 2019 KCSE examination, 689,007 Kenyan citizen candidates were successfully examined. Of these, 125,463 attained mean grades of C+ and above, hence were eligible for placement to university as Government-sponsored students. The remaining 563,544
were eligible for placement to TVET programmes at Diploma, Craft Certificate and Artisan Certificate levels.

SEE ALSO;

With regard to available capacities, universities declared 145,129 vacancies for Government-sponsored students, while TVET Institutions declared 276,163.

Following the successful completion of the placement process, 122,831 candidates have secured placement to degree courses in universities while 88,724 got placed in TVET
institutions. Of those placed in TVET, 53,726 will be admitted to Diploma; 29,112 to Craft
Certificate and 5,886 to Artisan Certificate courses.

The TVET number is expected to increase once the Ministry receives returns from institutions where students may have registered directly. It is also noted that the Placement Service undertakes continuous placement of students to TVET institutions, which will further grow the enrollment.

A gender analysis of the placement to Degree courses indicate that 70,050 (57.03%) are
male and 52,781 (42.97%) female. In TVET, the male students are 39,695 (44.74%) while
the female students are 49,029 (55.26%).

The Ministry is impressed to report that 2,632 candidates who scored C+ and above in the 2019 KCSE examination and qualified for placement to Degree programmes opted for Diploma courses in TVET institutions, and were placed appropriately. This number has been
growing over time. In 2019, the number was 1,269. The growing number of these “TVET
Champions” is a clear indication that concerted efforts to improve enrolment in TVET courses are yielding fruits.

Pursuant to the Universities Act, 2012 and the Placement Policy, the Placement Service applied Affirmative Action criteria for applicants living with disabilities, those from marginalized regions and for gender.

Three hundred and thirty one (331) applicants with disabilities have been given their top
priority courses for which they met the minimum admission requirements.
In addition, specific programmes cut-off points were lowered by two for applicants from marginalized regions, and 1,638 benefited. A similar concession benefited 679 applicants
under Gender Affirmative Action (624 female, 55 male). The total number of applicants who have benefited from Affirmative Action are therefore 2,648.

This year’s placement data indicates that of the 122,831 applicants placed to Degree courses, 66,661 (54.27%) will join Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM) programmes, which are critical for producing skilled workforce required for the attainment of the “Big Four” Agenda. The remaining 56,170 (45.73%) have been placed to
Arts and Humanities.

Of the applicants placed to STEM, 42,267 (63.41%) are male while 24,394 (36.59%) are
female.
Some degree programmes in some universities did not attract applicants. The Ministry wishes to direct the Universities offering those programmes to establish why they are not
attractive and implement corrective measures.

Students as well as universities and colleges can access the placement details through their
respective portals on the Placement Service website. Applicants will also be notified individually through Short Text Messages.

The Placement Service will conduct the Inter-Institution Transfer process online following
the laid down procedures while ensuring adherence to timelines for students who may wish to change their programmes and institutions.

Universities and colleges have been asked to contact their respective students and give them joining instructions and fast-tract the start of their academic journey given that most universities have continued with online learning during this era of COVID-19 restrictions.”
