The Ministry of Education has announced a raft of changes in the grading of KCSE students which starts this year.
Top officials from Jogoo House and the field are currently having a briefing at the New Mtihani House in South C.
These are the key highlights brought forth so far;
■ Only 2 mandatory subjects will be graded: Maths and one language (Kiswahili/English/Kenya Sign Language (KSL))
■ Any 5 best performed from Humanities, Sciences and Technical subjects
■ Previously 5 mandatory subjects were graded (Math, English, Kisw, and 2 sciences) plus two any best performed from either Humanities or Technical subjects
■ New grading system effective this year for the 2023 KCSE cohort
■ CS says the new grading structure will improve the transition to University and TVET institutions
■ Examination materials are to be collected twice daily (not once as before) from the examination centres to avoid exposure to afternoon papers.
