No National Exams for
Grade 3 pupils under new Curriculum, Magoha clarifies.
EDUCATION Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha has
clarified that there will be no national Examination conducted by the Kenya
National Examination Council to grade three pupils under the new system of
education.
Prof. Magoha says the reports that has appeared in a section
of the local dailies that there will be a national examination administered to
all grade three pupils at the end of their final year in lower primary while
proceeding to grade four are misleading and not true.
Addressing the press at Lake Primary school in Kisumu today
after visiting some centers in Western Kenya region where a four day training
for teachers has been ongoing on the new Education System known as Competency
Based Curriculum {CBC} Magoha said that statement was not correct since the
whole essence of the Competency Based Curriculum is assessment.
He says there will be nothing like national exams or
National Assessment at the end of the third year of the learner under the new
curriculum.
Magoha says the Assessment that will be done during the
implementation of the new curriculum will be done at all stages.
“That statement about having national exams at the end of
year three of the learner in grade three was not correct because the whole
essence of the CBC will be assessment,” Magoha said.
The Education Cabinet Secretary says at the end of the third
year in lower primary school, assessment will be done where the marking schemes
which the teachers have been hiding under the old curriculum system of education
will be put open to pupils who will be told what performance they expect from
the Assessment to be done.
“There will be nothing like the National exams at the end of
three years in lower primary only assessment will be done and for the first
time the Marking schemes which used to be hidden by teachers is going to be
open and the child will be told what he will score in regard to his or her
performance,” Magoha added.
Magoha at the same time said the training of teachers on the
new curriculum has been conducted well across the country for the four days.
The Education Cabinet Secretary said he has visited over 20
schools across the country where the trainings have been conducted and has
shown that the trainings have been successful.
“I have had a good feel on how the trainings about the new
Curriculum and I have seen that it has been successful,” he said.
The Cabinet Secretary said those who are doubting that the
new curriculum will not be implemented will be in for a rude shock.
