Why you can take this page at face value
Straight from the KICD design
The strands and topics on this page are the Grade 3 Islamic Religious Education curriculum as the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development sets it out. We have not chosen them, reordered them or left any out.
Nothing here is a sample
Every topic below is covered in our question bank, not a selection of the easy ones. The numbers beside each strand are the real counts.
Marked by a machine, written by a person
Each question carries its full working and a note on why every wrong answer is wrong, so a child who misses one is told what they were thinking, not just that they were wrong.
