Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has arrived at St George's Primary school
He is expected to preside over the KCPE and KPSEA exams which start today.
This is the second time learners in Grade 6 will sit the KPSEA exam.
After 38 years, the curtains will finally fall on the Kenya Certificate for Primary Education Examinations (KCPE) exams as the last cohort sits the tests.
Some 1,415, 315 candidates will sit the last KCPE beginning Monday as the nearly four-decades-old 8-4-4 system is phased out.
The ministry is replacing the 8-4-4 curriculum with the Competency-Based Curriculum which has a 2-6-6-3 system.
The government has rooted for the system as the surest way to equip learners with relevant skills.
The 8-4-4 system, which was exam-based and competitive, put a lot of pressure on learners to deliver good results.
