The Education Ministry has released a new calendar containing revised dates for the 2022-2023 academic year.

The 2022-2023 academic calendar is one of a kind given the shortened terms ranging between 9 and 10 weeks.

This year’s KCSE, KCPE and KPSEA candidates therefore have got less than 7 months to complete the syllabus and consequently sit for their final national examinations between November and December 2022.

KPSEA 2022 Examinations Dates

The newly introduced Kenya Primary School Education Assessment, KPSEA 2022 national exams will be conducted between November 28 and 30. They will run concurrently with KCPE 2022 examinations.

The Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC will for the first time in history roll out a novel/ new examination at the end of primary school education in Kenya now dubbed KPSEA that will replace the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, KCPE in November 2022.

The pioneers of KPSEA are currently partaking in their grade six-course in both public and private schools in Kenya.

KPSEA 2022 Assessment Dates

In the pioneer Competency-Based Curriculum, CBC, learners will therefore sit for their summative examination between November 28, 2022, and November 30, 2022.

According to KNEC, KPSEA will carry up to a maximum of 40 marks. It is aimed at ensuring that all learners currently in grade six transit to grade 7, in junior secondary schools in January 2023.

REHEARSAL DATE FOR KPSEA 2022 EXAMS

Just like its predecessor, KPSEA candidates will also have one day for rehearsal. The official date for the 2022 KPSEA rehearsal has been set for November 25, 2022.

KPSEA 2022/2023; Number of subjects

Coincidentally, the 2022 KPSEA candidates will still sit for five subjects that encompass Mathematics, English, Kiswahili, Integrated Science, and creative art and social studies.

KPSEA 2022 pilot examinations Dates and Timetable

Kindly note that KNEC will conduct a pilot test for KPSEA national examinations in September 2022.

The official dates for KPSEA 2022 pilot tests have been set between September 28 and September 30, 2022.

KPSEA Multiple Choices

Like the nearly-phased out KCPE examination, KPSEA will also be a multiple-choice test covering five papers.

” The exam will be a multiple-choice test that will cover five papers. IS will combine Science and Technology and will cover Home Science, Agriculture, and Physical Health while CASS will combine Art and Craft, Music, Social Studies, and Religious Education (CRE, IRE, and HRE)” noted KNEC CBA coordinator Ann Ngatia.

According to Ms. Ngatia, Integrated and Creative sciences will bring together various subjects that will form part of the five key subjects tested under KPSEA.

KPSEA 2022/2023 SBA

According to Ms. Ngatia, KPSEA 2022 results will be determined by the ongoing School-Based Assessment, SBA that is done at the end of every year for it will account for 60 percent of every KPSEA candidate’s final score.

“We will have 60 percent of the score emanating from SBA spread over grades 4, 5, and 6. The summative KPSEA test will account for 40 percent so that KNEC does not rely on a one-time assessment to determine the potential of a learner” added Ms. Ngatia.

This is a good move by KNEC since it will cut the rising demand for last-minute leakages that end up giving the examiner a wrong impression about the learner’s academic ability.

The school-based assessment will be done in form of projects, practicals, portfolios, and oral assessments. This assessment will be done by classroom teachers under the guidelines set by the examiner.

Addressing the issue of transition to junior secondary schools, KNEC deputy director for secondary education Lawrence Karundi noted that junior secondary school will be domiciled in secondary schools. All junior secondary school learners will be day scholars.
