Fears that many learners might not qualify for the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) pathway in senior school were allayed when it was reported that most candidates who did Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) qualify.
According to Education data released Thursday, over 59 percent of the 1.13 million KJSEA candidates fall under the Approaching Expectation (AE) band. This level means the candidate achieved a score of between 21 percent and 40 percent to earn three or four points, depending on their performance in the nine subject areas they were assessed in.
