The Ministry of Education (MoE) has announced that the 2024 Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) examination results will be released tomorrow by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC).
“The Kenya Primary School Education Assessment learner reports will be accessible on school portals in the week commencing January, 6 2025,” Julius Migos, Cabinet Secretary for education said in a press statement.
A total of 1,303,913 candidates sat for the examinations across 35,573 centres countrywide will transition to Grade 7 this week which is still domiciled within their respective primary schools.
The KPSEA was administered between October 28 and November 1. The candidates did five subjects; Mathematics, English, Kiswahili, Integrated Science and Social Studies and Creative Arts.
Integrated Science was one paper that combined Science and Technology, Agriculture, Home Science and Physical Health and Education.
Social Studies and Creative Arts was also one paper that combined Social Studies, Religious Studies (CRE/IRE/HRE), Art and Craft and Music and Physical Education.
However, the assessment lacked creative writing, that is, English Composition and Kiswahili Insha which were being done by former KCPE candidates.
Report Form
Schools will download and print the results which will be in report form and issue them to parents and the candidates at no cost.
KNEC has released two KPSEA reports, one for the learners and another for schools.

KPSEA learners will not be ranked but the KPSEA will account for 20 per cent score, which will be combined with 20 per cent school-based assessment in Grade 7 and 60 per cent summative evaluation (KJSEA) to be administered at the end of Grade 9.
KPSEA focused on learners’ competencies across nine learning areas as opposed to the high-stakes KCPE which laid emphasis on high scores.
