2025 Kenya Junior Secondary Results Released: Here’s How to Check Online and Via SMS
The Ministry of Education has officially announced the release of the 2025 Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA) results, marking a significant step in the country’s educational transformation under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos, speaking on Thursday, confirmed that learners, parents, and schools can now access the results through online and SMS platforms. This release follows the successful administration of the exams, which were conducted despite weather-related disruptions in some regions.
How to Access the Results
For online access, users should visit the Ministry’s selection portal at selection.education.go.ke/my-selections and enter the learner’s assessment number in the designated field.
To verify identity, learners will also need to enter one of their registered names as per their 2025 KJSEA registration details. Results are displayed immediately upon submission.
For those without internet connectivity, the Ministry has provided an SMS alternative. To check a learner’s school placement via SMS, send the assessment number to 22263. Each inquiry costs KSh 30.
A Milestone for Competency-Based Education
CS Migos, along with Education Principal Secretary Ogamba, emphasized that the KJSEA serves three core purposes:
- Evaluating how well learners have attained required competencies at the junior school level.
- Providing essential feedback for placement into senior school pathways—STEM, Arts, Sport Science, and Social Sciences.
- Supporting individualized progression by aligning each learner’s next steps with their demonstrated strengths and interests.
“The KJSEA summative assessment comprises written examinations and dry projects. Most subjects feature a single written paper, while languages, Integrated Science, and selected other subjects include two papers to accommodate composition, practical, or project-based components,” Ogamba explained.
Smooth Administration Despite Challenges
The government expressed satisfaction with the overall conduct of the 2025 KJSEA and the Kenya Intermediate Level Education Assessment (KILEA). All registered candidates successfully sat for their exams, thanks to what officials described as a “swift response” by field officers and school administrators to logistical and weather-related challenges.
“I am happy to report that all the learners who registered and presented themselves for the 2025 KJSEA and KILEA assessments successfully sat the assessments despite a few challenges that were appropriately addressed by our field personnel,” Migos stated.
Ogamba noted that since its introduction, the CBC has been progressively implemented across two years of pre-primary, six years of primary, three years of junior school, and three years of senior school—representing what he called “a major milestone in the ongoing transformation of Kenya’s education sector.”
With the results now public, thousands of learners and families across Kenya can plan for the next phase of education, guided by outcomes designed to reflect not just academic performance, but holistic competency and readiness for specialized pathways in senior school.
