KNEC intends to undertake Monitoring of Learner Progress (MLP) in September, 2019 at Grade 3.
Conducted a Pilot study in September, 2018 in 100 schools across the country, out of the 235 schools which had been identified by KICD for piloting of the CBC.
KNEC developed an online platform/portal for schools to identify the learners in Grade 3 in their respective schools.

• Inquiry Based learning involves experiences that enable learners to develop understanding about aspects of the world around them through the development and use of investigative skills.
The philosophy of the school is based on constructivist learning theories (Dewey, Piaget, Vygotsky) whereby humans construct knowledge and meaning from their experiences.
• Learners who actively make observations, collect, analyse ,synthesise information and draw conclusions develop problem-solving skills that can be applied to future ‘need to know’ situations.
• Assessment is focused on determining the progress of skills development in addition to understanding content.
• Questions that probe for deeper meaning and set the stage for further questioning • Foster the development of critical thinking skills and higher order capabilities such as problem solving.

At this level the learner will be exposed to deeper knowledge, skills and attitudes on the three disciplines in order to build on the competencies introduced in lower primary in the integrated learning area of movement and creative activities (art, craft, music and physical education).
This will prepare the learner to transit to junior secondary level.
Art and Craft in upper primary (Grade 4-6) involves acquiring and applying discipline specific concepts, techniques and related vocabulary to increase capacity for effective pursuit of artistic goals.
At this level, the learner will be exposed to deeper knowledge, skills and attitudes in Art and Craft in order to build on the competences introduced at the lower primary.
For the learner to acquire 2 1st century competences in Art and Craft, the basic ICT competences acquired in learning experiences at the lower primary will be broadened.
The learner will engage with skilled resource persons in the community to learn and apply traditional skills in Weaving and Basketry, Pottery and Leatherwork.
This will prepare the learner to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes to transit to the lower secondary level.

Continuous advancement of knowledge in indigenous languages could guide learners to make decisions on future career choices such as acting, broadcasting, development of orthography, translation and interpretation among others.
This learning area develops the language skills acquired in EYE as well as a positive attitude towards learning.
The learners’ thought processes are mature after being exposed to concrete learning activities and basic literacy skills in lower primary.
They will also be equipped with language skills to enable them acquire a second language more proficiently and achieve relevant competences.
