This important exam was taken by over 1.3 million Grade 6 students across the country between October 28 and November 1, 2024.
The results are now available, and schools can easily access the reports online through the Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) portal.
How to Access the 2024 KPSEA Results
In a statement released on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, KNEC confirmed that the results for the 2024 KPSEA are ready for viewing.
The reports have been uploaded to the CBA portal, and schools that presented candidates for the exam are advised to log in to the portal to access individual student reports.
The link to access the portal is http://cba.knec.ac.ke. Once on the site, school administrators can retrieve the learner-specific reports for their candidates.
KNEC has encouraged schools to check the results and congratulate their students for their efforts.
This assessment marks an important milestone for the students, as the KPSEA is part of the transition process into junior secondary school.
The exams focus on measuring the students' understanding and abilities across a variety of subjects, including Mathematics, English, Kiswahili, Science, Social Studies, and Creative Arts.
The results will provide important insights into how well the learners are prepared for the next stage of their education.
The Role of KPSEA in Education
Introduced in 2022, the KPSEA is designed to assess students' competencies rather than just their knowledge.
This makes it an important tool for the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), which focuses on the development of skills, critical thinking, and practical learning. It serves as a key step for students transitioning from primary to junior secondary school.
The exam is part of the government's ongoing efforts to improve the quality of education in Kenya by moving away from traditional rote memorization and towards a more holistic approach.
Students are evaluated on their ability to apply what they have learned in real-world situations.
Challenges in Rolling Out Grade 9 Classrooms
While the 2024 KPSEA results have been successfully released, the Ministry of Education is facing some challenges as the first Grade 9 cohort prepares to begin their studies.
According to Basic Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang, there are not enough classrooms to accommodate all the pupils who will be joining Grade 9 when schools reopen.
Reports indicate that the government's plan to provide sufficient classrooms for this new cohort has fallen short by about 2,500 classrooms. By Monday, January 6, 2025, only 13,500 classrooms had been completed, leaving some schools with overcrowded classrooms.
The Ministry of Education is working to complete the remaining classrooms, but some students may still face overcrowding for the next month.
Looking Ahead
Despite the challenges with classroom space, the Ministry of Education remains focused on providing quality education to all students.
