The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has announced the introduction of questionnaires for Grade 9 students.
In a statement dated Thursday, December 19, KNEC CEO David Njengere revealed that the questionnaire would be administered to the first Grade 9 class next year.
As detailed by the CEO, the questionnaire will be used to ascertain the career paths students want to take in Senior Secondary School (SSS) which begins in Grade 10.
Njengere added that the questionnaires will supplement the assessment that will be undertaken during the academic year.
“Apart from achievement assessments, we will also administer a questionnaire to Grade 9 learners to explore their interests and other personal attributes that will speak to the kind of pathways and tracks that they will pursue in Senior School,” he stated.
The career paths to be taken by students in SSS include Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Social Sciences (humanities), and Performing Arts, Music, and Athletics.
