The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has announced the opening of registration for the 2025 national examinations.
Speaking on Thursday, January 9, KNEC CEO Dr. David Njeng'ere said the registration for Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) candidates will commence on January 27, 2025.
He added that portals for Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates will open on February 17, 2025.
Njeng'ere highlighted the importance of accuracy during the registration process, citing past errors that had significant consequences for candidates.
“While there was a remarkable improvement in the quality of registration data for the KCSE examination in 2024, there were cases of 113 candidates in 88 examination centres being registered for the wrong subjects. This is despite KNEC having reiterated that KCSE examination papers will be personalised," he said.

Njeng'ere urged schools and examination centres to ensure proper registration in 2025.
“I request all Centre Managers to ensure that all their candidates are registered for the subjects they are learning because there will be NO provisions for erroneous registration. Any candidates who will be erroneously registered in 2025 will have no alternative but to defer their examination to 2026," he concluded.
Njeng'ere made the announcement during the release of the 2024 KCSE results where Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba announced that 1,693 candidates scored A, an increase from 1216 students in 2023.
The CS also announced that students who attained the University entry grade of C+ and above in the 2024 KCSE examinations were 246, 391, a 25.53 percent of the candidate class.
On the other hand, 476, 889 students managed to get a mean grade of C- (Minus) and above while 605, 774 candidates score D+ and above in the 2024 national examinations.
