The Kenya Primary School Education Assessment is an essential part of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya, designed to evaluate Grade 6 students as they complete their primary education.
This assessment provides a thorough evaluation of students’ competencies, preparing them for their transition to junior secondary school.
Introduced as part of Kenya’s shift to the CBC, the KPSEA emphasizes skill acquisition and practical knowledge rather than traditional exam-based learning.
It offers valuable feedback on students’ performance across various subjects, which helps educators identify areas for improvement and supports the development of a well-rounded skill set.
