Kenya dropped the junior secondary exam results, and Education CS Julius Migos said students can grab them online through the ministry portal or by texting their assessment number to 22263 for 30 shillings. The competency-based curriculum system grades kids differently from the old setup by checking how well they actually learned skills instead of just ranking test scores against each other.
Migos explained the assessment serves three purposes: measuring if students hit the required competency levels, helping place them into senior school tracks like STEM or arts based on their strengths, and giving feedback to guide their next educational steps. The exams included written tests and dry projects, with some subjects getting two papers to cover practical work and compositions.
Every registered candidate finished their assessments despite some weather problems in certain regions, and officials credited field staff for handling issues quickly during the testing period.
