English candidates write plenty and still score modestly. The marks sit in specific places: agreement, tense control, format and the counter-argument. Here is the map.
KPSEA Mathematics marks are not lost evenly. They cluster around seven specific errors, each of which has a known, teachable fix.
A CSL project can complete every activity and still achieve nothing. The reports that score well are the ones that can tell the difference, and prove it.
Kiswahili candidates rarely lose marks because they have nothing to say. They lose them on agreement, on ngeli, and on the six verb forms. Here is exactly where, and how to fix it in the weeks that remain.
Religious Education carries the same 8 KJSEA points as Mathematics. Here is how CRE, IRE, and HRE are assessed, which strands to revise, and a four-week Term 3 plan.
You keep hearing teachers and KICD officers correct each other: "it is strand, not topic." Why does KICD care so much about this? Because the words quietly change how teaching actually happens. The full explanation, with rewrite examples, a glossary, and the mistakes that get lesson plans flagged at inspection.
Your 4-year-old is in PP1 and you wonder: are they actually learning anything? No formal exams, lots of play, lots of singing. Here is what Pre-Primary CBC is really doing, why KICD designed it this way, and exactly how to support it at home: with a day-by-day breakdown, a PP1 vs PP2 comparison table, and the mistakes well-meaning parents make.
In CBE/CBC every KICD curriculum design is organised into strands and sub-strands: not topics. This explainer walks through the hierarchy with a worked Grade 7 Maths example, shows why KICD deliberately retired the old vocabulary, and explains how the structure changes lesson planning and BE/AE/ME/EE assessment.
The 2024 KICD rationalisation collapsed 14 Junior Secondary learning areas to 9, cut weekly lessons from 40 to 35, and merged several subjects. This comparison explains every old vs new change side by side, and tells you which version of the curriculum design PDF you actually need in 2026.
