The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) on January 7, 2025, released the 2024 Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) exam results.
The KPSEA was done by Grade 6 pupils who will now be joining Grade 7.
The results were uploaded on Tuesday to the Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) portal.
Schools, parents and guardians can log in to get the learners’ results.
“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.”

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 7, 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.
