Kenya Early Years Assessment, a continuous exercise, kicked off on Monday for over 1.3 million Grade 3 learners, marking the first assessment under the new Competency-Based Curriculum.
Established to evaluate learners' progress, the assessment will run until the end of the term and determine whether learners have exceeded, met, or failed to meet expectations.
Parents and students across the country are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the new curriculum, which aims to leverage students' talents rather than fostering unhealthy competition.
At Moi DEB Common Wealth Primary School in Bungoma, parents accompanied their Grade 3 pupils for a rehearsal in preparation for the assessment, expressing confidence in their children's abilities.
Principal Kelfine Wanyama stated that the school was well-prepared for the assessment, with well-trained teachers guiding the candidates.
The Kenya Early Years Assessment will evaluate learners' proficiency in various subjects, including Kiswahili, Kenya Sign Language, environmental activities, and movement and creative activities.
