Top performers (those exceeding expectations) will be graded as Level 4, meeting expectation (Level 3), approaching expectation (Level 2), and below expectation (Level 1).

“Level 1 indicates that the learner has difficulties in demonstrating proficiency in the task performed in terms of technical skills, originality, creativity, initiative and requires appropriate intervention,” said Belio Kipsang in published guidelines for the roll-out of junior secondary.

The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) will be in charge of the learners’ assessment.
