Kenya has officially released the 2025 Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) results, marking a significant moment in the country’s education reforms under the Competency-Based Education system. The assessment involved more than 1.1 million Grade 9 learners across the country, making it one of the most extensive national evaluations ever conducted in Kenya.

The KJSEA represents a major departure from the former primary school examination structure. Unlike previous systems that relied heavily on final exams, the new assessment model evaluates learners using a balanced approach that combines end-of-cycle examinations with continuous assessment carried out over time. Education authorities say this method offers a more accurate picture of a learner’s abilities, strengths, and overall progress.

The results will be used to guide placement of learners into senior secondary schools beginning in January 2026. Officials have emphasized that the placement process will consider individual performance profiles rather than rigid rankings, in line with the goals of the competency-based curriculum.

Education stakeholders have welcomed the release, noting that the new system is expected to reduce exam-related pressure, encourage skills development, and promote creativity and critical thinking among learners. Parents and schools are now preparing for the transition phase as students move to the next level of learning under the reformed education framework.

The release of the 2025 KJSEA results underscores the government’s commitment to transforming education and ensuring learners are better equipped for future academic and career pathways.
