For the first time in Kenya's history, high school students will sit for a national exam in 2025.
The Guardian reports 5,875 students from 235 schools across the country will sit for the one-week test starting Monday.
The test is part of a pilot project by the Kenya National Examination Council in preparation for the country's new Competency-Based Curriculum for Secondary Education, which will replace the country's old one.
According to a press release, students will be assessed in English language, Kiswahulizi wa Fiasihtian, Kenyan language, agriculture, nutrition, religious education, creative arts and sports, and pre-technical studies.
They'll also be tested in math, science, and social studies.
The test is expected to cost the country's government about $30 million.
“We are going to use the lessons learned plan for the national level KJSEA at Grade 9 in 2025, and we will find out how they fare in each of the subjects and then be able to see whether our test blueprints or what we call tables of the subjects are appropriate for each of the subjects,” Ann Ngatia, the Knec's acting deputy director of research, innovation, and educational assessment, says.
The country's last national exam was in 2013.
