CS Magoha, who spoke to the media on Friday, July 22, said that the 1.27 million students in Grade 6 will take the national exam from November 28 to 30.
From August 15 to August 30, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) will activate the portal, at which point students in Grade 6 will need to choose Junior High Schools in order to be placed.
Exam results will make up 40% of the final score, with school-based assessments from Grades 4, 5, and 6 accounting for the remaining 60%.
According to CS Magoha, 2.51 million students will begin secondary school in January 2023.
Students will be given an assessment number, which functions as a substitute for the index number and use it to register for the Kenya Intermediate Level Education Assessment (KILEA).
All of the Grade Six examinations, according to Knec Chief Executive Officer David Njengere, are already prepared.
The students will then register for the national exam after the evaluation's results have been submitted to the portal.
