The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has clarified the calculation method for the inaugural Kenya Junior Secondary School Assessment (KJSEA) results, addressing confusion following their release on Thursday. The results mark the transition of the first competency-based curriculum cohort to senior secondary school.

• The KJSEA results are based on a comprehensive assessment that includes KPSEA performance, Grade 7 school-based assessments, performance in three Grade 9 projects, and a November summative assessment.
• KNEC CEO David Njengere explained that learners' performance was tracked throughout their learning journey, aligning with the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms (PWPER) guidelines.
• The KJSEA uses an 8-point scale for grading across nine learning areas, with a maximum possible score of 72 points grouped into 'exceeding expectation,' 'meeting expectation,' 'approaching expectation,' and 'below expectation.'
