School Management System for Kenya Schools
Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) + Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) · Over 18 million learners enrolled across 38,000+ primary and secondary schools
Overview
Kenya launched a landmark Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) reform in 2017, replacing the former 8-4-4 system with a 2-6-3-3-3 structure spanning Pre-Primary, Primary (Grades 1–6), Junior Secondary (Grades 7–9), Senior Secondary (Grades 10–12), and Tertiary. The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) oversees curriculum design, while the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) administers national assessments. The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) is being phased out as CBC matures. Teacher Service Commission (TSC) records govern teacher deployment. Kenyan schools are rapidly adopting M-Pesa for fee collection, and parents expect digital communication channels. RedeemOS supports CBC's competency-based assessment model alongside M-Pesa integration for a seamless digital school experience.
