The latter seeks to train teachers on how to conduct internal assessments which will contribute to the learners’ final mark as they exit the primary school.
Teachers will be responsible for awarding the internal scores.
Under CBC, the equivalent of KCPE examinations will only account for only 40 per cent of the final mark.
The remaining 60 per cent will be gathered from the continuous assessments which will be conducted in Grade 4, 5, and 6.
However, the assessments will be administered by KNEC.
The curriculum seeks to measure the achievements of the learners.
In June, TSC announced that it had set aside Sh1 billion to train teachers on the CBC for the 2021/22 financial year.
So far, TSC chief executive, Nancy Macharia says 156,000 teachers in primary schools have been trained.
