On the 23rd of November Candidates who sat for the grade six Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) will know their results by January.

Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) David Njengere urged patience from parents and students explaining that the marking of KCPE took priority over KPSEA marking.

“Allow me to inform the parents of children who sat for KPSEA that the marking of KCPE was prioritized to allow the ministry time to place the 1.4 candidates in secondary schools enough time,” Njengere said.

Njengere mentioned that the reporting of KPSEA learners’ achievement will be done at three levels.

The three levels include a national report by January 2024, Individual learner reports and school-specific reports.

“KNEC is finalizing the KPSEA and we are committing ourselves to make sure that these reports are ready before these learners are ready for junior secondary schools in January of 2024,” he said.

A total of 1.2 million candidates are sitting for KPSEA examinations which started on November 28, 2022, and ended on November 30, 2022. 

While KCPE accounts for the final score in primary school, under KPSEA, the score will be a combination of class-based assessment and the final KPSEA score.

KPSEA examinations were divided into several days, with mathematics and English being tackled on the first day.

Integrated Science (Science and Technology, Agriculture, Home Science, and Physical and Health Education) and Kiswahili on the second day.

The third and final day assesses candidates in Arts and Craft, Music, and Religious Education in the Creative Art and Social Studies subject.

He noted that the results will be released in three reports; Individual learners, school-specific reports and the national report on school-based and summative assessment.

The national report will highlight the areas that require assistance as well as the number of learners at each performance level per topic who require intervention.

The individual school report will be tailored to each school and will highlight areas where students face difficulties and where schools require further assistance.
