More than 1.3 million learners in Grade 6 started their Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) on Monday morning. Unlike during administration of other national tests, the government has scaled down police presence inside the classrooms.

Education Cabinet Secretary (CS) Julius Ogamba said security officers will only escort the materials but will not be allowed to enter the classrooms, to create a relaxed environment for the learners.
