KNEC Prepares Junior School Teachers for Upcoming KJSEA Assessment

The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) is set to initiate a thorough training program for examiners responsible for overseeing the Grade 9 Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA).

If you have been chosen as one of the teachers, it’s time to prepare for an engaging experience that will equip you for this important role.

Following a meticulous selection process, KNEC has released a list of qualified teachers who must now complete their registration. This includes paying a fee of KES 10,500 via a designated paybill number and confirming the transaction on KNEC’s examiners’ portal.

The training will begin online to offer flexibility and convenience, before transitioning to in-person sessions at a residential location. This blended approach ensures you are well-prepared as the first cohort under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) approaches their final junior school assessment, scheduled for October to November 2025.

The assessment will incorporate projects, practicals, and traditional exams, starting with the Creative Arts and Sports Project in May and the Pre-Technical Studies Project in July. The main examination period is set for October 24 to November 5, 2025. Please note that the deadline for candidate registration was March 28, 2025, at midnight.

KNEC has identified twenty-four subjects for examiner training, covering a range from English and Kiswahili to specialized areas such as Kenya Sign Language and Integrated Science Practical.

To qualify as an examiner, you must be an active teacher in the relevant subject area, registered with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) or Public Service Commission, and possess at least a Diploma in Education along with three years of teaching experience.

Additionally, candidates should be under 50 years of age, free from any disciplinary actions, and have a recommendation from the head of their institution.

If you are ready to embrace this opportunity, visit KNEC’s examiners portal. Log in using your CP2 credentials and follow the instructions to apply for the training. If you do not yet have an account, you will need to create one to proceed. Remember, the selection process is competitive and operates on a first-come, first-served basis for qualified candidates.
