This week, the results of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) test, which was taken by 1.2 million students, are going to be made public.


The Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) was taken by approximately 1.2 million students in Grade Six. 

 

These students will, however, find out their grades the following month, despite the fact that their grades will no longer be required for placement in junior secondary schools (JSS) as was initially anticipated.


Ezekiel Machogu, the Cabinet Secretary for Education, said that steps had been taken to make sure that no cheating happened when the tests were given almost two weeks ago.


We will be announcing the results of the KCPE examination the following week, and under the direction of Machogu, there will not be a single instance of cheating. 

 

According to Machogu, who was speaking from Kisii, the KCPE grading process is moving along well, and the results will not include any abnormalities.
The CS made sure that the process was open and clear, with no weird things happening.


Machogu asserted, "We have put in place the necessary measures, and I assure you there will be no cheating because this time, we have personal accountability at an individual level from the centre manager to the security personnel, supervisors, and invigilators who will make sure there will be no cheating of any kind."

According to the announcement made by the government, KPSEA would not be used for placement in JSS, which are currently being housed in already established elementary schools.


Instead, the evaluation will be used to see how much students have learned and to tell different people in the education system about problems that need to be fixed.


This decision was made in line with the interim report that was presented by the working group that was established by the president to look into education reforms.


Personalized optical marker readers (OMR) are used for the KCPE marking process in order to ease machine reading. This means that the answer sheets are given a unique identifier so that it is possible to tell which one belongs to which applicant.


The only sections that are hand-marked are Kiswahili Insha and English composition.
