SUBJECT: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PIX DIGITAL SKILLS ASSESSMENT PROJECT AND STAKEHOLDER TRAINING
The Ministry of Education in collaboration with the World Bank is undertaking the PIX Digital Skills Assessment in selected learning institutions in Kenya.
The initiative aims to assess the digital skills proficiency of learners and teaching staff within the participating institutions. The information gathered will provide valuable insights to inform the Ministry strategies for enhancing digital literacy and integrating technology effectively in education.
The 10 days pilot assessment will be conducted in 159 institutions selected by the Ministry comprising 51 primary schools, 51 junior schools, 43 senior schools, and 14 teacher training colleges within the month of May, 2025 after due sensitizations. Instructively, the assessment exercise will be carried out online, and therefore the participating institutions are required to have access to computers and internet connectivity for seamless engagements.
Accordingly, there shall be an online sensitization of the activity to all the CDES an SCDES on Monday 12th May, 2025 from 8am – 9am. The list of schools for the pilot exercise shall be emailed to you within the week.
The purpose of this circular is to request for your support to the teams carrying out the assessment. For more clarification, you can get in touch with Paul Odhiambo, Tel No: 0725 034 054 or Sam Abaki Tel No: 0724 695 483.
