The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has released the results of the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA).
On Tuesday night, KNEC announced that the results are available on the Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) portal).
“The 2024 Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) reports are ready and have been uploaded on the CBA portal, http://cba.knec.ac.ke.” KNEC said in a statement on X.
“Schools that presented candidates for the assessment are advised to log into the portal and access the learner-specific reports. Congratulations to all the 2024 KPSEA candidates.” They added.
The results come a day after the state asked parents to take their kids to grade seven as they continue to wait for the results.
Reports had indicated that pupils had not reported for grade seven as they were waiting for the results to be released.
KPSEA was administered between October 28 and November 1, with a total of 1,303,913 Grade 6 students across Kenya sitting for the exam.
The exams covered a range of subjects, including Mathematics, English, Integrated Science, Kiswahili, Creative Arts, and Social Studies
All the 1,303,913 candidates who sat the KPSEA across 35,573 centres countrywide will transition to Grade 9, which is still domiciled within their respective primary schools.
The KPSEA is a transitional assessment that evaluates students’ understanding and application of skills.
It is part of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), which is replacing the 8-4-4 system.
Learners will not be ranked, but the KPSEA will account for a 20 per cent score, which will be combined with a 20 per cent school-based assessment in Grades 7 and a 60 per cent summative evaluation to be administered at the end of Grade 9.
Grade 9 will mark the final phase of Junior School, after which learners will transition to Senior School in 2026, where they will have an opportunity to choose career pathways.
