The Ministry of Education (MoE) has officially confirmed that the results for the Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) 2025 will be released on 11 December 2025.
Smooth Moderation and Marking Process
During the announcement on 17 November 2025, Julius Bitok, the Basic Education Principal Secretary, said that the assessment process has “progressed smoothly” and that all marking and moderation activities are now in their final stages.
He emphasised the ministry’s commitment to transparency and accuracy of the Grade 9 results — a key step ahead of the transition into senior school.
Senior School Placement and Reporting Date
In addition to the results release date, PS Bitok confirmed that the school-selection process for learners entering senior school (Grade 10) will be finalised before Christmas 2025.
Furthermore, learners who transition to Grade 10 are expected to report to their new senior schools on 12 January 2026 — to give schools time to prepare classrooms, teaching resources and staffing.
Support for the CBC Transition
The Ministry stressed that the selection of senior schools will align with the learners’ performance, interests and the opportunities under the Competency‑Based Curriculum (CBC).
PS Bitok further highlighted ongoing efforts to expand senior-school infrastructure, boost teacher capacity, and develop pathways that cater to the diverse talents and aspirations of learners.
What This Means for Students and Parents
Students who sat the KJSEA 2025 in Grade 9 can expect their results on 11 December 2025.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to rely only on the MoE’s official channels for updates and avoid speculation.
With the selection process scheduled for completion before Christmas and the new school year beginning in January, families have advance notice to prepare for the transition to senior school.
Schools too are being given time to organise resources and staffing ahead of the incoming cohort.
Final Remarks
The schedule set by the Ministry reflects an effort to streamline the transition from junior to senior secondary education in Kenya. By releasing results early December, completing placements before year-end, and starting the academic year in January, the timeline aims to reduce uncertainty and give all stakeholders clarity.
As the country awaits the results, remaining patient and referring only to official announcements will help avoid confusion.
