The education system in Kenya has changed drastically over the years. I bet most of you would have to guess 8-4-4 as a quick guess, but with a competency-based curriculum, there have been many improvements. The CBC now features the 2-6-3-3-3 system, which focuses on assessing students’ proficiency in various subjects. Under the CBC, there are also KILEA exams done by all Grade 6 learners. So, how can school heads register for KILEA exams for students in Kenya?
What Is KILEA in Kenya?
The education curriculum in Kenya has changed significantly with the new changes that come with the 2-6-3-3-3. Among these is the Introduction of KILEA exams for all Grade 6 students in Kenya. Grade 6 students do KILEA exams to evaluate their progress and competencies at the intermediate level.
The main difference between the KILEA and the previous KCPE exams is that the latter focuses on knowledge acquisition. At the same time, the first is designed to align with CBC’s emphasis on developing practical skills and competencies.
Specifically, the KILEA exams in Kenya focus on the following:
- communication
- social and literacy skills
- daily living skills

KILEA Registration 2024 Dates and Deadlines
The registration period for learners wishing to sit for the 2024 KILEA exams commenced on January 29th, 2024, and will conclude on March 29th, 2024. KNEC advises all school heads to register students within the timeframe, and late registration may not be permitted.
KILEA Registration Requirements
Students at the intermediary level who are ready to sit for KILEA exams must register.

However, KNEC requires learners to first undergo a school-based assessment (SBA) for the intermediate level before being registered for KILEA.

After the process, school heads can proceed and register all their learners but with the following requirements in mind for all learners:

- Religious Education option (if applicable)
