Last Thursday, Kipsang announced that Grade 9 students—the first cohort under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC)—will start selecting their subjects and senior schools in the second term of this year.
The former Education Principal Secretary indicated that Mathematics will no longer be a mandatory subject for students moving to senior secondary school, representing a significant shift under the CBC framework.
This marks a departure from the previous 8-4-4 system, where Mathematics was a core subject alongside English, Kiswahili, and at least two sciences (Physics, Chemistry, or Biology).
Moreover, the Ministry of Education has proposed a cap on the number of students from a single junior secondary school who can enroll in the same senior school, limiting it to a maximum of five.
On Thursday, the Kenya National Examination Council announced that the final Grade 9 score will be determined by students’ performance in primary school, internal assessments conducted by teachers, and their results from the national Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA), which will take place at the end of the year.
