CBC assessment and report card software for Kenyan schools

The Competency-Based Curriculum asks teachers to assess learners by strand and performance level, not just by a single exam score — and to produce report cards that show it. WIK Scholar is built around the CBC structure from Lower Primary through Junior School to Senior School (Grades 10–12), so teachers enter assessments the way CBC defines them and report cards come out ready to send to parents.

Highlights

  • Strands under every learning area with per-strand rubric entry
  • Four-level (EE/ME/AE/BE) and eight-level KJSEA (EE1–BE2) scales
  • SBA scores blended with exams into a composite performance level
  • Branded PDF report cards, generated in bulk and sent to guardians

Rubric entry by learning area and strand

Each learning area carries its strands, and teachers record a performance level per strand in a mark grid that saves automatically as they go — useful on a phone in a classroom with patchy internet. The scale is set per school: the four-level EE / ME / AE / BE rubric, or the eight-level KJSEA scale from EE1 to BE2. Every entry is validated against the scale your school uses.

SBA and exams combined the CBC way

School-Based Assessment scores (0–100) are captured per learning area and blended with the term’s exam into a weighted composite. The weights are configurable (40/60 by default), and the result is expressed as a performance level — never as an aggregate score, in line with KNEC’s no-aggregate approach.

Schools that still run numeric exams alongside CBC can do so: exams support configurable letter scales, absent handling and stream and grade positions when an exam is locked.

Competencies, values and Senior School pathways

  • The seven core competencies and eight values rated per learner per term, shown on the report card only when they have actually been recorded.
  • Senior School pathways — STEM, Social Sciences, and Arts & Sports Science — with the learner’s subject combination recorded at the Grade 9 to 10 transition.
  • Teacher comments per learner and a composite "Overall" column on the report card.

Report cards in bulk, delivered to parents

Report cards are school-branded PDFs with your logo, colours and header, showing strand detail under each learning area. Generate a whole grade at once as a background job; guardians are notified by email and SMS and can download the report card from the parent portal.

Frequently asked questions

Does WIK Scholar support the KJSEA eight-level scale?

Yes. Schools can choose the four-level EE/ME/AE/BE rubric or the eight-level KJSEA scale (EE1 to BE2), and every assessment entry is validated against the chosen scale.

Which grades are supported?

The full CBC ladder from Grade 1 through Junior School to Senior School (Grades 10–12), including Senior School pathways and subject combinations.

Can teachers enter marks on a phone?

Yes. The mark grid works on mobile and auto-saves as the teacher enters each level, and teachers only see the streams and learning areas they are assigned to.

How do parents get the report card?

When report cards are generated, guardians are notified by SMS and email and can download the PDF from the parent portal.
