The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has come out to clarify what it terms widespread misinformation about how the new grading system works under the Competency-Based Education (CBE).
At the heart of the confusion is the tendency by some schools to analyse Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA) results using the logic of the defunct 8-4-4 system- ranking learners, generating mean scores and suggesting grade-for-grade comparisons with KCSE.
