KNEC Releases KPSEA & KILEA Performance Reports

The Kenya National Examinations Council has released the 2025 KPSEA and KILEA performance reports, providing schools and learners with detailed competency-based assessment outcomes. The reports allow access to individual learner performance through the CBA portal, supporting placement, transition planning, and targeted learner support under the CBC system.

The data is expected to guide schools as they strengthen instructional strategies and address learning gaps identified through national assessments.

Over 800,000 Grade 10 Learners Yet to Report to Senior Schools

Education sector reports indicate a slow transition of Grade 10 learners to senior secondary school, with over 800,000 learners yet to report. Financial strain on households has emerged as a major factor, alongside system-related delays and logistical challenges linked to the new CBC transition structure.

The situation has triggered discussions within education offices on whether reporting deadlines should be extended to ensure equitable access and prevent learner exclusion.
