The Ministry of Education has officially released the 2025 Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment results.
Speaking on Thursday, Education CS Julius Migos announced that learners, parents, and schools can now access the results through both online and SMS platforms.
To check the results online, users should visit the Ministry’s selection portal at selection.education.go.ke/my-selections and enter the learner’s assessment number in the designated field.
For those without internet access, the Ministry has provided an SMS option.
To check a learner’s selected schools via SMS, send the assessment number to 22263. Each SMS costs Sh30.
“Learners will be required to enter the assessment number and any one of their names as per their registration data for the 2025 KJSEA assessment. The results will be accessed immediately after this session. I hereby declare the 2025 KJSEA examinations officially released,” Migos said.
Ogamba noted that since the government began rolling out the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), the system has been implemented progressively across the learning pathway two years in pre-primary, six years in primary school, three years in junior school, and three years in senior school.
He added that Competency-Based Education marks a major milestone in the ongoing transformation of Kenya’s education sector.
Ogamba said the purpose of the Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) is threefold.
According to him, KJSEA evaluates the extent to which learners have attained the competencies required at the junior school level.
He said it provides essential feedback for placement into senior school pathways, including STEM, Arts, Sport Science, and Social Sciences.
The CS added that it supports progression and planning by aligning each learner’s next steps with their demonstrated strengths and interests.
“The KJSEA summative assessment comprises written examinations and dry projects. Most subjects feature a single written paper, while languages, Integrated Science, and selected other subjects include two papers to accommodate composition, practical, or project-based components,” CS Ogamba said.
Ogamba said that all candidates who registered for the 2025 KJSEA and the Kenya Intermediate Level Education Assessment (KILEA) successfully sat their examinations, despite weather-related disruptions in some parts of the country.
The CS said the government was pleased with the smooth conduct of the assessments, crediting field officers and school administrators for their swift response to emerging challenges.
“I am happy to report that all the learners who registered and presented themselves for the 2025 KJSEA and KILEA assessments successfully sat the assessments despite a few challenges that were appropriately addressed by our field personnel,” he said.
