Beginning on January 9, the Ministry of Education will conduct a national assessment to determine whether students are ready to be admitted into Grade 7.
Up to January 20, the assessment will be administered in all primary schools, both public and private.
The CBC task panel suggested that junior secondary students reside in current primary schools as of December 1, 2022.
According to Basic Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang, ensuring a seamless transition for Grade 6 students into Grade 7 in the current primary schools is the main goal of the assessment.
Kipsang asked ministry stakeholders in a statement to make sure that all public and private primary schools are evaluated in accordance with the standards.
