The Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) commenced for Grade 6 students, marking a significant shift in the country's education assessment landscape. Over 1.3 million learners are participating, with changes in security protocols that reduce police presence in classrooms to foster a more relaxed test-taking environment. This assessment forms part of the Competency-Based Curriculum, transitioning from the former 8-4-4 system.
The Kogi State Police Command confirmed the tragic deaths of two students from Confluence University of Science and Technology (CUSTECH) after being kidnapped. Efforts are underway to apprehend the kidnappers, while the university declared a mourning period. The incident has sparked calls for government action.
