Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha has today said the exercise of monitoring Grade 3 learners progress isn’t an exam. According to the CS, the exercise was meant to collect data so as to inform policy decisions on the new Curriculum Based Curriculum,CBC. He said that there will be no timetable for the tests.
While addressing journalists in Thika today, when he visited Joy Town School to monitor students’ preparedness, Prof Magoha told schools claiming to be unable to meet the printing costs for the assessment sheets to write the tests on the chalk boards.
“It (the grade 3 assessment) can be written on the blackboard so you don’t need to photocopy many copies,” he said.
In a rejoinder, the Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC, has quashed the time table being circulated on Social Media platforms; terming it fake. “The Public should be notified that the timetable circulating in social media on Grade 3 monitoring is fake,” reads a presser from the Council. According to KNEC, this is what should be expected under the grade 3 monitoring exercise:
1. There is no supervisor/invigilator
2. No exam timetable
3. The exam is administered by class teachers
4. There will be no recording of individual learners’ scores
6. All Grade 3 kids will join Grade 4 next year.
The assessment for the over 1.3 Million Learners will kick off on Monday September 16, 2019 countrywide. In an interesting twist of events, some headteachers however say they don’t know how download the tasks from the KNEC portal.
