Cs Magoha: We Are Still Not Sure How Grade 6 Learners Will Be Placed In Junior Secondary
It is still unclear how Grade Six learners will be placed in junior secondary schools with only five months left before they sit for their national tests.
Speaking on Monday at Mwiki Secondary School where he opened CBC classrooms, Education CS Prof. George Magoha said the government is still working on the logistics, which will soon be availed to both students and teachers.
“There’s one thing I keep saying, the process of how children are going to apply for junior secondary is still being worked on,” Magoha said.

PRE-MOCKS EXAMS AND MARKING SCHEMES 2022
Beginning November 28, around 1.24 million students are expected to take the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment.
The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) indicates grade 6 candidates will be assessed in five papers for three days until November 30, 2022. Rehearsals will be conducted on November 25.
Mathematics and English will be tackled on the first day followed by Integrated Science (Science and Technology, Agriculture, Home Science and Physical and Health Education) and Kiswahili on the second day.
Candidates will be assessed in Art and Craft, Music and Religious Education on the third and final day, in the Creative Art and Social Studies subject.
Unlike in the KCPE exams where candidates are rated out of 100 per cent, the KPSEA will account for only 40 per cent of the final score.
The other 60 per cent will come from the classroom-based continuous assessment tests conducted in Grades 4,5 and 6
Unlike the former KCPE candidates who Magoha said did not receive guidance on Form One selection, the CS said it will be different for Grade 6 learners.

“To this effect, we shall make sure children are advised on how to apply for the schools and where to go,” he said.
The CS added that CBC also seeks to do away with competition witnessed during secondary school selection.
“The usual cutthroat competition will have to wait until year 9, which is senior school,” he added.
On the construction of CBC classrooms, Magoha said the second phase will be launched before the end of this week.
“We will have another 3,500 classrooms being constructed in the second phase before I leave,” he said.
The first phase, which included the construction of 6,497 classrooms countrywide, is 98 per cent complete.
He also clarified that private schools are planning to construct 5,000 classrooms to host junior secondary learners.
