Kenya's exam board is basically telling schools to knock it off with the bogus report cards circulating after junior high assessment results dropped. Institutions have been pushing out fake analyses with aggregate scores and school rankings, even though the competency-based system literally does not work that way, and the testing authority said this whole charade needs to stop because it goes against everything the new curriculum is trying to do.
The assessment checks each subject separately using performance levels instead of cramming everything into one score, which means the concept of school averages does not even exist under this setup. Over 1.1 million kids sat for the exam, and officials are urging parents to ignore the manufactured rankings since they are misleading garbage that undermines the whole point of moving away from competition-focused testing.
