The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has warned schools against publishing "fake" and "misleading" analyses of the recently released Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) results. This follows the inaugural release of KJSEA outcomes on December 11 under the new Competency-Based Education (CBE) system, which does not use aggregate scores or school mean scores.

• KNEC stated that some schools are circulating fabricated results analyses, wrongly assigning aggregate scores and school mean scores that do not exist under KJSEA.
• Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba highlighted that the new system focuses on identifying learners' strengths and potential, moving away from rote-based examinations.
• Preliminary analysis shows strong performance in Creative Arts and Sports (96.84 percent of learners attained Approaching Expectation 2 or above), while Mathematics (only 32.44 percent met or exceeded expectations) and Kenyan Sign Language (22.14 percent) emerged as areas of concern.

The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has addressed concerns regarding unpaid coordination fees for KCSE examiners, stating that all examiners who have completed their marking duties and left centres have been paid. This clarification follows protests by over 800 examiners at Mary Hills Girls' High School demanding their allowances.

• KNEC affirmed that all examiners will receive their coordination fees before departing marking centres.
• The agency refuted claims of unpaid teachers, listing subjects like Physics Paper 2 and Biology Paper 2 for which examiners have already received allowances.
• Examiners who protested were demanding a Ksh5,000 coordination fee, with concerns over payment certainty.

The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has issued a warning to schools against releasing fake or inaccurate performance analyses of the recently released Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) results, clarifying that the Competency-Based Education (CBE) system does not use aggregate scores or school rankings.

• KNEC emphasized that the CBE system focuses on nurturing individual potential through independent subject assessment and performance levels, not mean grades or school rankings.
• The 2025 KJSEA results were released on Thursday, December 11, with 1,130,459 learners assessed.
• Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba stated that 578,630 male and 551,829 female learners sat for the exams, which reported achievements in four performance bands: Exceeding Expectations, Meeting Expectations, Approaching Expectations, and Below Expectations.
