EMO Standard Four New Format Exams January 2025

Standard Four (or fourth grade) is a key stage in elementary education where students typically build on their foundational knowledge across various subjects.

They are introduced to more complex topics, but the learning pace is still designed to develop their understanding in a gradual, structured manner.

While Standard Four students don’t sit for a national exam, NECTA oversees the Standard Four National Assessment (SFNA), which evaluates students’ competencies in key subjects.

This assessment helps inform teaching strategies and curriculum development.

Detailed exam formats and structures are provided by NECTA to guide educators and students.

In Zanzibar, the Zanzibar Examinations Council administers Standard Four examinations.

Past papers and exam materials are available for review, providing valuable insights into the exam structure and content.
