2. Read the passage below and then answer questions that follow.

A new system modeled on Continuous Assessment Tests [CATs] will soon replace ranking of
teachers,learners, schools and regions in both KCPE and KCSE according to the Cabinet Secretary for
Education Science and Technology.

FOR MARKING SCHEMES CALL/TEXT/WHATSAPP 0705525657


Page 33 of 72
[email protected]

In the meantime, the ministry has constituted a team of experts to work out on an elaborate, credible and all-
inclusive standard system that the management of schools would use in conducting the tests from the moment
learners join school to the time they complete studies. This will include collaboration with the Education
Ministry, the Examinations Council, Parents Association and Teachers Unions.
According to the Ministry’s plan, the accumulated marks awarded over a period of time in all areas of
learning, including co-curriculum activities would count towards the final results when one leaves school
either after KCPE or KCSE examinations. To achieve the best possible grading and desired results, those
charged with implementing the new program would have to consider all the important aspects of
administering CATs at various levels of learning and teaching. The new system which would be implemented
any time soon will serve as an alternative after the recent banning of ranking on performance of schools and
candidates in national examinations, though there have been calls from a section of parents, Kenya National
Union of Teachers and The private Schools Association to have the Minister rescind his decision on ranking.

It is worth noting that in the CATs program, learners are examined continuously during their education and
results considered after leaving school. It is an evaluation conducted over time; in other words, you are
examined right through your learning process and not after the learning process [summative evaluation].By
doing this assessment, you can track the improvement of the learner; you will be able to give more support
and guidance and the learner will have more opportunities to improve.
It has also been established that CATs can provide early indicators of likely performance of learners,
something that can be of great help to the students themselves. It can also provide details of what has been
learned at a particular stage of the course.

The CS said that after working out the new grading system for KCSE and KCPE candidates to be used by
schools, the system would become a policy where KNEC will be left with no other choice but to make it
operational to end the public outcry on scrapping franking of schools teachers, candidates and regions.
However, we are waiting to see if the teachers, some of whom have been accused of perpetuating
examinations’vices,will uphold the integritythat is in doubt.

Your love flows through my veins

Love flows through my veins
like rivers that break off into endless streams
and water the gardens of the green stems
of torn covered rose bushes.

In my veins, you flow, as a sparrow


flies through the blue skies in beauty.
You are the blood that flows through my veins
and later settles deep in my heart
and embraces me with a hug of intimacy.

Love flows through my veins


like endless notes played by the sweetest composer
along with his private orchestra playing a lovely melody.
Rivers, streams break off and flow into lakes and oceans,
Like my veins that lead to my heart,
you are always there flowing through my veins.
Your love flows through my veins.

UMOJA NA UTANGAMANO WA KITAIFA


Taifa ni jamii ya watu wanaoishi pamoja na kuunganika kihistoria na kitamaduni chini ya
serikali moja. Muunganiko huu hutokea kinasibu na watu kujikuta chini ya himaya moja.
Umoja na utangamano katika taifa hutokana na mambo kadha wa kadha.

Kwanza kabisa ni ushirikiano baina ya wanajamii wenyewe. Umoja wao huletwa na lugha
wanayotumia. Hapa nchini Kenya Kiswahili kimechangia pakubwa katika kuleta
utangamano. Luhga ya Kiswahili inazungumzwa kote nchini. Wananchi kutoka sehemu
tofauti za nchi wanaweza kuwasiliana bila shida yoyote.

Pili, utawala wa serikali ya kitaifa huleta utangamano wa jamii katika nchi. Huduma za
serikali hutolewa kwa wote bila ya ubaguzi. Nchi inapokuwa chini ya kiongozi
aliyechaguliwa na wananchi hufanikisha umoja.

Jambo lingine ambalo huleta utangamano wa kitaifa, ni kuweko kwa sera inayoongoza
maazimio na malengo ya taifa. Viongozi na wananchi wote hujitahidi kuchangia katika
kuyafikia maazimio na malengo ya taifa lao.

Utamaduni wa nchi nao ni muhimu katika kuleta umoja wa kitaifa. Mila, itikadi na kaida
zenye manufaa na zinazokubalika na jamii hufanikisha kutambulisha taifa. Hivyo wananchi
kupigania kwa jino na ukucha kuhifadhi utamaduni wao. Kwa mfano: sanaa za uigizaji na
uimbaji nchini Kenya husaidia kutomelea umoja huu. Tamasha hizi ni chombo muhimu cha
utangamano. Mfumo sawa wa elimu nchini ni njia nyingine ya kuimarisha umoja wa kitaifa.

Wafanyibiashara wanaposafiri kutoka sehemu moja ya nchi hadi nyingine hutangamana na


wananchi wenzao wanapouza au kununua bidhaa na huduma. Utangamano huo hukuza
umoja wao.
