Assessment, rubrics, and report cards for Competency-Based Education — without the paperwork.
Kenya's curriculum has moved to Competency-Based Education (CBE) on the 2-6-3-3-3 structure: two years of pre-primary, six of primary, three of Junior School (Grade 7–9), and three of Senior School (Grade 10–12). The first Grade 10 class joined Senior School in January 2026, choosing between three pathways — STEM, Social Sciences, and Arts & Sports Science.
That changes how your school assesses learners, builds report cards, and talks to parents. Teachers now capture evidence of competencies as they teach, apply rubrics consistently, and report progress in language parents understand.
Mzizi was built in Nairobi, with Kenyan schools, for exactly this. Since 2017 it has grown with the reform — and today it runs CBC/CBE, 8-4-4, and IGCSE classes side by side in the same school, for 300+ schools across Kenya and Uganda.
Capture assessments as learning happens and apply rubric levels consistently across every learning area, following KICD's curriculum structure.
Generate CBC/CBE progress reports instantly — no end-of-term rush — and share them with parents by email or on WhatsApp.
Track learners through Grade 7–9 and into Senior School pathways and subject combinations from Grade 10.
The final 8-4-4 cohorts and international classes run in the same system, each with its own grading and reports.
“We have been using Mzizi since 2014 and in that time, it has transformed the way information is managed at Mirema School. Mzizi enables us to keep track of a growing number of students, managing student and parent data, school fees invoicing, staff information amongst other vital functions.”

They are the same reform — the name has evolved. The Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) is now delivered under the broader Competency-Based Education (CBE) framework on the 2-6-3-3-3 structure. Mzizi supports the workflows behind both names, so your school does not need to change anything as the terminology settles.
Yes. Senior School learners follow one of three pathways — STEM, Social Sciences, or Arts & Sports Science — with subject combinations. Mzizi handles their assessment, records, and reporting.
Yes. Many schools still have final 8-4-4 cohorts working toward KCSE while CBE grades come up behind them. Mzizi runs both curricula in one system, each with the right grading and report formats.
Yes. Parents receive report cards and progress updates through the parent portal, email, SMS, or WhatsApp on the school's own number.
