Kenya’s Ministry of Education released the 2025 Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment results Thursday, allowing Grade 9 learners and parents to immediately access scores and senior school placements.
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba announced the results at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development in Nairobi and outlined two straightforward methods to retrieve them.
Online Access (Free)
Parents and candidates can visit the official portal at selection.education.go.ke/my-selections.
They must enter the learner’s full assessment number and one of the names used during registration. Results, including the allocated senior school pathway, appear instantly.
SMS Option (KSh 30 per Query)
For those without internet, send the candidate’s assessment number to 22263. Replies are delivered within seconds at a cost of 30 Kenyan shillings per message.
“I hereby declare the 2025 KJSEA examinations officially released,” Ogamba said.
What the Results Mean
The KJSEA is the first national summative test for junior school under the Competency-Based Curriculum. It combines written exams with school-based projects and determines placement into one of four senior school pathways: STEM, Arts and Sports, Social Sciences, or others.
Most subjects had a single written paper; languages, Integrated Science and creative subjects included additional papers or practical components.
Exams Went Ahead Despite Rain
Ogamba said every registered candidate sat the papers, even in areas hit by heavy November rains.
“All learners who registered and presented themselves for the 2025 KJSEA and the Kenya Intermediate Level Education Assessment successfully completed their assessments,” he said, crediting field officers and school administrators for quick responses to weather-related challenges.
What Happens Next
With results now public, the ministry expects families to check placements promptly. Form One selection lists and January 2026 reporting dates will be announced soon.
Parents facing difficulties can visit county or sub-county education offices for assistance.
The release marks a key milestone in Kenya’s shift to competency-based education and opens the path to senior school for hundreds of thousands of learners.
