SCHOOL ASSESSMENTS:

School heads have been advised to wrap up all schoolbased assessments for years 1 to 11 before the start of external examinations for years 12 and 13.

In a circular by the Ministry of Education yesterday,

Acting Permanent Secretary Susan Kiran said schoolbased assessments would be summative assessments in the form of term end examination for term two and annual examinations for term three. This, she said, would be based on the curriculum, which were circulated to all school heads.

Ms Kiran is advising all school heads to ensure that teachers are made aware of the advisory and monitor its implementation.
