The Kenya National Examinations Council has released the 2025 Kenya Junior School Education Assessment results. This guide explains how schools, parents and learners can access KJSEA results, print result slips and lodge queries if they spot errors.
Key Takeaways
- Individual KJSEA results are available at the KJSEA portal and can be searched by assessment number and name.
- Heads of Institutions can download centre results and print individual result slips from the CBA portal.
- Result slips are provisional; KNEC may correct information after release.
- Formal queries must be submitted in writing through Sub-County Directors within 30 days of the results release.
How to access KJSEA results
To check an individual learner’s KJSEA results, visit https://kjsea.knec.ac.ke. Enter the learner’s Assessment Number and at least one name. Accept the data privacy notice, then search. This page returns the subject-level descriptors and pathway performance.
Heads of Institutions should use the CBA portal at https://cba.knec.ac.ke. After logging in, click Results and use the download link to get the centre’s full results in one file.
Understanding performance descriptors
KJSEA results use simple performance descriptors for each subject. These describe how the learner performed and map to short point values:
- Exceeding Expectation (EE) — top band
- Meeting Expectation (ME) — expected achievement
- Approaching Expectation (AE) — needs small improvements
- Below Expectation (BE) — requires targeted support
Each descriptor helps teachers and parents plan the next steps. Schools should focus on pathway-level results: Social Sciences, STEM, and Arts & Sports, which show broader strengths.
Printing and issuing result slips
KNEC has enabled printing of individual assessment slips through the CBA portal. The Head of Institution must:
- Login to https://cba.knec.ac.ke.
- Open the Results menu.
- Enter the candidate’s Assessment Number and print the slip.
Schools must issue signed copies of the slips to parents or guardians. Remember: the slips are provisional. If corrections are needed, KNEC will update records after valid queries.
How to lodge a results query
If a school identifies an error, lodge a formal query in writing through the Sub-County Director of Education within 30 days of release. The submission must include:
- School code and name
- Assessment number(s) and learner name(s)
- The affected subject or paper
- Contact details for the headteacher
For quick enquiries, use the KNEC call centre numbers: 0800 721410 or 0800 724900. Other direct lines are also available. Send email queries to js@knec.ac.ke.
What schools and parents should do next
Schools should download and store centre results, print signed slips for parents and review pathway summaries to plan support. Parents should collect signed slips, review the learner’s subject descriptors, and discuss any follow-up support with the school.
Teachers may use past exam practice and structured revision materials to support learners who are Approaching or Below Expectation. Useful free practice resources include sample CBC papers and revision exams to build confidence and skills. For example, access the collection of free CBC exams for progressive practice, or find primary-level papers at the free KCPE exams page to support transition skills. Primary teachers preparing term work can also use targeted term exams such as the Free Grade 3 Term 1 CBC exams to plan revision.
Notes on data privacy and accuracy
When using the online portals, accept the data privacy and access notice before viewing results. Only authorised school staff should download centre data. KNEC keeps the right to correct any errors; therefore, maintain digital and printed copies until final confirmation.
Quick checklist for school administrators
- Login to the CBA portal and download centre results.
- Print and sign individual result slips for parents.
- Inform parents about provisional status and query window.
- Submit formal queries through Sub-County Directors within 30 days if needed.
- Use practice resources to support learners in weak areas.
Following these steps will help schools, parents and learners access and act on KJSEA results quickly and correctly. For practice and revision resources, explore the linked exam collections above to plan targeted support and consolidation.
