Kenya has officially commenced the Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA), involving 2.3 million learners as the first national exam under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) curriculum. Running from October 27 to November 3, the KJSEA marks the transition from junior secondary to senior school, focusing on skills and continuous learning rather than high-stakes testing.
Unlike the previous KCPE, learners will receive result slips instead of certificates, emphasizing competencies in various subjects, including practical assessments. The reform aims to prepare students for real-world challenges through a holistic evaluation approach, integrating classroom assessments and reducing exam pressure.
This is the First Assessment since the introduction of Competence Based Curriculum to the Kenya’s Education System (CBC).
The CBC replaced the 8-4-4 System
This year 1,130,669 candidates will sit for KJSEA
