Grade 6 students can transfer to another school to join Grade 7 secondary school after receiving the results of the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA).
Parents of 6th grade students can use the KPSEA report, which will be issued at the end of this month, to apply to other schools.
Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) Chief Executive David Njeng has announced that KPSEA will receive candidate reports before January 16, 2023.
He said students will receive individual reports that will be uploaded to the school portal.
He said each school will receive a clear report showing where students are struggling so they can continue on their path to excellence.
A total of 1,287,597 candidates appeared for the KPSEA examination and the Knec chairman said that schools will be limited by the limit of individual reports.
“Students will receive individual student reports, all of which will be uploaded to the school portal by January 2023,” Njengere said.
KPSEA, however, said it would be used to monitor the progress of students and not place them in secondary schools.
Knec said KPSEA will provide three levels of reporting for summative assessment, including individual student reports, school-specific reports, and school-based and national reports on summative assessments.
The national report will provide feedback to education stakeholders on areas that require intervention.
The report will also show the percentage of students at each performance level for subjects that require multiple interventions.

“This year is a tough year for KNEC because they have to pass four exams in one year. “It has never happened before.”
In the beginning, Knec made it difficult for students to transition when they were in 4th and 5th grade.
The document written by Knec states that the Competency-Based Curriculum (KBK) school curriculum can only be adopted for students in grades 1-5.
During the 4th and 5th grade students must go to the district education director if they want to move.
Students also need a special class number issued by KNEC after completing Class 3.
This number will be used to make it easier to evaluate the first grade 4 elementary school students.
Assessment numbers will be consistent throughout the course and will be used by KNEC to record student assessment progress.
This means that if a student chooses to move from one school to another, he must stay in the class.
To facilitate the transfer process, CBC transfer applicants at that level – Grades 4 and 5 – will be graded.
The student’s school will receive their online application and click on the accept/reject button.
Students will be transferred to the new school after being accepted by the teacher.
“Students who are not covered by KNEC in grades 4 and 5 can be registered by the district education director and teachers,” he said.
According to CBC, assessments will be in grades 4, 5 and 6.
Pertéy Kerja Persiden Education Reformasi Pendidikan (PWPER) says that KPSEA 6th grade will not be used for middle school storage.
Rather, it will be used as an evaluation to monitor progress and provide feedback to education players on areas that require intervention.
The task force said that junior high schools – Grade 7, Grade 8 and Grade 9 – will stay in the existing elementary school. The Ministry of Education has issued the necessary instructions on how this will be done.
The group said additional classrooms and laboratories would be set up in every primary school. The construction of laboratories will be given importance during this year.
Teachers Service Corps (TSC) is recruiting 30,550 teachers for secondary schools. TSC has advertised 21,550 posts for secondary school teachers, 9,000 posts for permanent and retired secondary school teachers and 9,000 posts for posting in secondary schools.
