The Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) will carry out a pilot study this month to help iron out bottlenecks ahead of the planned Grade 6 national exams in November.
The piloting exercise, aimed to unearth the level of preparedness of Grade 6 learners, will be carried out in selected primary schools countrywide.
The piloting schools were selected based on various factors including geographical location and number of learners.
According to the pilot assessment schedule released by Knec the study will start on 28th and end on 30th September 2022.
The learners will also have a rehearsal day on 27th September before the official piloting assessment tests begin.
The learners will be tested in five subjects including Mathematics, English, Kiswahili, Integrated Sciences and Creative and Social Sciences.
The pioneer Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) learners will sit for their final test in primary schools from 28th to 30th November 2022 before transiting to junior secondary in January.
