However, KNEC has determined that the scores awarded in each section are not consistent between the Individual Candidate’s Assessment Sheet and the scoring guide. Furthermore, the assessment sheet does not cover all of the areas to be evaluated as specified in the scoring guide.
KNEC has since revised the assessment sheet to include all of the areas to be assessed in order to properly guide subject teachers.
Subject teachers have therefore been advised to download the revised assessment sheet and use it to assess the candidates’ work for Milestone 1 and upload the scores by October 15th, 2021, when the portal for keying the scores will close.
School Principals of schools offering KCSE Computer Studies are asked to assist teachers in downloading the assessment sheet and uploading the scores to the KNEC portal.
