Authorities Address KJSEA and Senior School Selection Processes - December 2025

The Kenyan government has granted 2025 Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) candidates a new opportunity to revise their senior school choices following dissatisfaction with initial placements. This decision comes amidst concerns from parents and educators that the KJSEA, introduced with the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), may perpetuate educational inequalities. Separately, Starehe Boys’ and Starehe Girls’ Centres have clarified their admission process for the 2026 Grade 10 class. They emphasized that selections are still ongoing and that financial need, assessed through specific forms, is the primary consideration for admission.
