The Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) is set for a pivotal moment when schools reopen this January, as the pioneer class prepares to join Grade Nine, the final stage of junior secondary school.
This marks a significant transition for these students, who will soon be closer to joining senior secondary school in January 2026.
As part of the transition, learners will sit for an assessment at the end of Grade Nine, which will determine their placement in senior secondary schools.
This assessment is part of a broader process that, for the first time in decades, will not involve Form One admissions.
