CBC assessments
Record assessments per learning area and strand with the four performance levels: Exceeding, Meeting, Approaching and Below Expectation.
CBC & exams
The CBC school management system for Kenyan schools
Record competency-based assessments by learning area and strand, then print CBC report cards that parents understand, with 8‑4‑4 exams running alongside.
In short
For CBC, choose a system that records competency-based assessments by learning area and strand, uses the four CBC performance levels (Exceeding, Meeting, Approaching and Below Expectation), and prints CBC report cards for Pre-primary, Primary, Junior School and Senior School. Shulepoa does this and keeps 8‑4‑4 grading alongside it for schools still running both curricula.

Questions schools ask
CBC and exams: common questions
What is the best school management system for CBC in Kenya?
For CBC, choose a system that records competency-based assessments by learning area and strand, uses the four CBC performance levels (Exceeding, Meeting, Approaching and Below Expectation), and prints CBC report cards for Pre-primary, Primary, Junior School and Senior School. Shulepoa does this and keeps 8‑4‑4 grading alongside it for schools still running both curricula.
Does Shulepoa support both CBC and 8‑4‑4?
Yes. Each class can follow CBC or 8‑4‑4, so a school running both curricula keeps one system: CBC performance levels and report cards for CBC classes, and marks, grades, mean grades and merit lists for 8‑4‑4 classes.
Can Shulepoa print CBC report cards for Junior School?
Yes. Junior School (Grades 7 to 9) report cards show each learning area with its performance level and teacher comments, and can be printed in bulk or sent to parents.
Can teachers enter marks on their phones?
Yes. Teachers enter marks and CBC assessments on the Shulepoa Android app or in a phone browser, for the classes and subjects they teach.
Does Shulepoa produce merit lists and exam cards?
Yes. For 8‑4‑4 exams Shulepoa ranks learners, produces merit lists by class and stream, and prints exam cards.
