What is Grade 3 MLP?

Monitoring Learners Progress (MLP) is the process of collecting and documenting evidence on knowledge, skills, values and attitudes acquired by a learner over a period of time as learning goes on. Grade 3 MLP is therefore process of finding out the progress learners have made in their quest to acquire the expected competencies after three (3) years of primary education, for purposes of decision making and instituting interventions.

How long will it take for schools to know learners scores in Grade 3 MLP?

Teachers are required to score the assessment using the marking guides provided and give immediate feedback to the individual learners at the school level.

Grade 3 MLP is expensive to parents and schools, who bears the cost?

MLP should be administered in the most natural environment just like the way teachers conduct classroom assessments. In undertaking the Integrated Learning Areas assessment, learners are expected to use locally available and affordable materials. Schools are also encouraged to use digital devices such as computers, laptops, projectors, and tablets to administer MLP assessment in a more interesting manner for the learners as well as reducing on costs of printing question papers.

Query Management Information System (QMIS)

The Query Management Information System (QMIS) is an electronic platform for online submission and processing of queries relating to examination results such as Certification of Examination Results for candidates who have lost their certificates, Confirmation of Examination Results and Equation of Foreign Qualifications.

• Bio data amendments (name, photo, gender, year of birth, birth certificate number, citizenship, entry code.
• Direct Recoveries for KCPE/KCSE result slips, certificates and result printout.
• Results (marks) queries i.e. absenteeism, missing marks and payment queries.

Below is a detailed schedule of the QMIS process:-

A client needs a computer/mobile phone with internet access.

• Use the web address  https://qmis.knec.ac.ke  to access the QMIS system;
• If  new, the  user is then prompted to register, a registered user however  logs in using their credentials;
• The Client then accesses the User Manual. The User can at this point identify the requirements relevant to his query and upload scanned copies of the requisite documents;
• They then make a payment of the amount as prompted by the system. Payments are by M-pesa;
• Upon successful processing of the query, KNEC, using the Client’s provided email or phone number, notifies them to collect their processed document(s). A client is at the point of collection required to avail original copies of the documents they had attached during the application process.

The Business Plan must be well constructed and provide sufficient detail to enable a potential investor to decide in principle, whether the company is a candidate for investment.

The Business Plan should include the following:

Potential investors often make an initial judgement based on the content of the Executive Summary and their decision to read the detailed content of the Business Plan will depend on its content.

While the Executive Summary is shown at the front it should not be completed until the Business Plan has been written.  It will highlight all milestones in the company’s development over the next five years.  At minimum, it should summarise the following:
