As the government continues with the implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), the Ministry of Education has unveiled comprehensive guidelines detailing the transition of learners from junior to senior secondary school.
This initiative aims to align educational pathways with students' individual strengths and career aspirations, marking a pivotal shift in the nation's educational framework.
The pioneer cohort, currently in Grade 9, is slated to join Grade 10 in January 2026.
To facilitate a seamless transition, these learners will undertake the Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA) between October 27 and November 5, 2025. The KJSEA's comprehensive evaluation structure comprises 20 per cent from the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA), 20 per cent from school-based assessments in Grades 7 and 8, and 60 per cent from a summative evaluation at the end of Grade 9.
