The Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) will next month administer a proficiency test to learners who have not been studying under the competency-based curriculum (CBC), to assess their readiness to sit the Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) in November.

Knec Chief Executive Officer Dr David Njengere said the proficiency test will be conducted online. The examination targets children who have come from other countries or different education systems and joined CBC.
