As we approach the midterm of the third term, it marks a crucial point in the academic journey—especially for learners preparing to sit for the KNEC assessments. For schools implementing the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), this period is not only about exams but also about evaluating holistic growth, competencies, and readiness for transition to the next level.

🧠 Midterm: A Time to Reflect and Refocus

This term, the energy in our classrooms has been one of focus, creativity, and growing independence. Learners are engaging more actively with practical tasks, group work, and real-world applications of knowledge—hallmarks of the CBC approach.

Midterm provides a chance for:

• Learners to reflect on their progress, strengths, and areas needing improvement.

• Teachers to adjust instruction based on learner needs and outcomes.

• Parents and guardians to reinforce learning at home and provide encouragement.

📚 Preparing for KNEC Exams: What Matters Most

As the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) assessments draw closer, it's essential to maintain a balanced perspective. Under CBC, these assessments are not just about memorization, but about:

• Demonstrating competencies across various learning areas

• Applying knowledge, skills, and attitudes in real-life scenarios

• Showing growth in areas such as communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving

Teachers have been working tirelessly to ensure that learners are well-prepared not just to pass exams, but to succeed in life.

🏠 The Role of Parents and Guardians

This is also a key time for home support. As we prepare for assessments:

• Create a calm, supportive home environment for study and rest.

• Encourage open conversations about learning experiences and progress.

• Ensure learners are balancing academics with physical activity and creative expression.

CBC emphasizes that learning is a shared responsibility—your support truly makes a difference.

🧭 Moving Forward with Purpose

As we cross the midterm mark, let’s remind ourselves of the bigger picture: we are nurturing competent, confident, and values-driven individuals.

To our learners: Keep engaging. Stay curious. Believe in your ability.
To our teachers: Your dedication shapes the future.
To our parents: Your involvement is invaluable.

Let’s continue working together to ensure meaningful learning, confident assessment, and smooth transitions.

Wishing all our learners success and clarity as they approach the KNEC exams!
