The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has announced the release of the 2024 Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) results.
KNEC has urged schools to log into the CBA portal to access the individual learner reports for the 2024 KPSEA.
“The 2024 KPSEA reports are now available and have been uploaded to the CBA portal, http://cba.knec.ac.ke,” KNEC stated on X.
“Schools that presented candidates for the assessment should log into the portal to access the learner-specific reports. Congratulations to all 2024 KPSEA candidates.”
The KPSEA was conducted from October 28 to November 1, with 1,303,913 Grade 6 students across Kenya taking part in the exam.
The assessment covered various subjects including Mathematics, English, Integrated Science, Kiswahili, Creative Arts, and Social Studies.
All 1,303,913 candidates who sat the KPSEA at 35,573 centers nationwide will move on to Grade 9, which remains within their respective primary schools.
The KPSEA is a transitional assessment aimed at evaluating students’ comprehension and practical application of skills. It forms part of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), which is replacing the 8-4-4 system.
Candidates will not be ranked, but the KPSEA will contribute 20% to their final score, combined with a 20% school-based assessment in Grade 7 and a 60% summative evaluation at the end of Grade 9.
Grade 9 marks the conclusion of Junior School, after which learners will transition to Senior School in 2026, where they will choose career pathways.
Grade 9 includes nine learning areas: English, Kiswahili, Mathematics, CRE/IRE/HRE, Agriculture, Social Studies (History, Geography, Life Skills), Pre-technical studies (Business, Computer Studies), Creative Arts & Sports (Art/Craft/PE, Visual Arts), and Integrated Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology).
In 2026, learners will move to Senior School for three years (Grades 10-12), where they will focus on one of three core learning areas that shape their career paths: Arts and Sports Science, Social Sciences, and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
The Arts and Sports Science track offers two paths: Arts, including Music and Dance, Theatre and Film, and Fine Arts, and Sports Science, which includes Sports and Recreation and Physical Education.
