Meaning of the KCSE Grading System Review for Students

Meaning of the KCSE Grading System Review for Students

A revised grading system for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams will benefit Kenya’s more than five million students. Ezekiel Machogu, the cabinet secretary for education, has devised a new method that decreases the number of required topics from five to two.

Now, candidates will have their mean marks determined by their five best-performed topics, together with two mandatory subjects (math and one language, which may be English, Kiswahili, or Kenya Sign Language).

Before, the grading system took into account five mandatory disciplines (English, Kiswahili, mathematics, two science topics, and two humanities subjects) combined with two electives, which disadvantageed pupils whose skills lay outside of this formula.

The number of students who can enrol in universities, diploma programmes, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), as well as certificate and artisan levels, is expected to rise as a result of these reforms, according to Machogu.

These modifications follow the advice of the PWPER, the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms. The class of 2023, whose exams will be held from November 6 to November 24, is the first group of students to benefit from these improvements.

Based on their achievement under this new grading system, learners will be assigned to higher education institutions by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (Kuccps).

The new system intends to enable students to concentrate on their areas of strength and potential career routes. It adheres to international best practises and aims to differentiate achievement from placement. In order to assure the seamless distribution of exam materials, the administration is also keeping an eye on the weather, particularly the El Nino rains predicted for next month.

The way exams are administered has also changed, including the yearly staff rotation for supervisors and invigilators. The Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA), the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE), and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) are the national tests offered this year for students in Grade 6. With 1,415,315 registered candidates, KCPE has the most.

To avoid early exposure, candidates will go through rehearsals and the exams will be administered using a new method. The usage of containers for the safe storage of exam materials is one of the improved security measures.

These modifications are the result of a serious effort to improve the Kenyan educational system, which aims to increase equity and chances for students.
