Does it handle the Grade 6 to Grade 7 transition (Junior Secondary)?

Yes. OpenEduCat tracks CBC competency levels across pre-primary through Grade 9, including the Grade 6 KPSEA results. The transition to Junior Secondary School grading is supported in the same system.

CBC Grading That Speaks the Language of Competencies, Not Percentages

Kenya's Competency-Based Curriculum replaced percentage marks with four proficiency levels: Exceeding Expectation, Meeting Expectation, Approaching Expectation, and Below Expectation. Generic gradebooks cannot handle a grading model that has no number — OpenEduCat models competency levels as first-class fields, generates KICD-aligned learner progress reports, and tracks strand-level achievement across learning areas.

Competency-Level Grading Without Percentages

CBC rejects numerical averages: a learner either meets a competency or is working towards it. OpenEduCat stores "Exceeding / Meeting / Approaching / Below Expectation" as native grade states — not as hidden percentage ranges — so learner progress reports reflect the CBC philosophy accurately, strand by strand.

Frequently Asked Questions

The old 8-4-4 system used percentage marks and letter grades (A–E). CBC replaces these with four competency levels: Exceeding Expectation (EE), Meeting Expectation (ME), Approaching Expectation (AE), Below Expectation (BE). Assessment focuses on learning strands and sub-strands rather than subject totals.
