Education CS Julius Ogamba has set the release timeline for KPSEA, KJSEA, and KCSE results. Here’s a full breakdown of what these timelines mean for students, teachers, and Kenya’s education reforms.
In a significant announcement, Education CS Julius Ogamba confirmed that KPSEA and KJSEA 2025 results will be released in December, while KCSE results will come out in January 2026. The decision aligns with Kenya’s restructured academic calendar and aims to ensure fair processing and analysis of results.
Balancing CBC and 8-4-4 Systems
The 2025 exams represent the coexistence of two systems — the CBC (Competency-Based Curriculum) and the traditional 8-4-4. KPSEA and KJSEA fall under CBC, focusing on skill and competency evaluation, while KCSE remains the final secondary assessment under 8-4-4.
This dual approach allows a smoother national transition as Kenya phases out 8-4-4 and fully adopts CBC by 2029.
Impact on Learners and Parents
The staggered release schedule ensures learners in lower levels can transition smoothly to the next grade before secondary results come out. Parents can plan early for school placements and learning adjustments.
Ogamba also assured parents that results will be released digitally, reducing delays and promoting transparency.
Kenya’s Education Reform Moving Forward
The Ministry of Education continues to refine the assessment and placement system to align with global standards. Stakeholders have praised the 2025 calendar as one of the most organized since the pandemic disruptions.
Experts believe these results will provide valuable feedback on how Kenya’s learners are adapting to new teaching models, technology integration, and competency-based learning.
