The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) officially released the 2024 Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) results. The assessment, conducted for Grade 6 students, marks an important milestone as these pupils transition to Grade 7 under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). A total of 1,303,913 students sat for the exam between October 28 and November 1, 2024, across 35,573 examination centres nationwide.
To access the KPSEA results, schools, parents, and guardians can follow a simple, straightforward process through the Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) portal. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Visit the KNEC Official Website: The first step is to go to the official KNEC website to access the necessary portal for the KPSEA results.
- Log into the CBA Portal: Use this link to access the Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) portal.
- Enter Student Credentials: Once on the portal, input the student’s username and password. If you have forgotten the password, simply click on the “Need help or forgotten password” option to reset it.
- Provide Valid Assessment Number: Select the relevant grade and enter the student’s valid Assessment Number to access specific learner details.
- Download the Report: After successfully logging in and searching for the results, select the download option to save or print the learner’s report.
KPSEA covers a range of subjects, including Mathematics, English, Integrated Science, Kiswahili, Creative Arts, and Social Studies. It is part of a broader transition under the CBC, which is gradually replacing the traditional 8-4-4 education system.
This assessment does not rank students, but the results are used to calculate a final score that includes a 20% weight for the KPSEA, another 20% for school-based assessments in Grade 7, and a 60% summative evaluation to be done at the end of Grade 9. This system will guide the transition of learners into senior school in 2026, where they can choose career pathways.
