The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) is sounding an alarm, urging primary schools to immediately cease disseminating “fake and inaccurate” analysis of the Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA) results.

In a public statement on Monday, December 15, 2025, the council stated that the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) does not rank learners or provide aggregate scores.

This comes after St. Vincent Depaul Boys’ Boarding Primary School, Mosoch, shared a post to the public as an analysis of the KJSEA results, assigning points, percentages, and ratings to each.

“We urge schools to stop misleading the public with fake and inaccurate KJSEA results analysis,” KNEC said on a post.

No Aggregate Score in KJSEA

Education officials stress that the KJSEA, the assessment for the Grade 6 cohort transitioning to Junior Secondary School (JSS), does not generate an aggregate score, and therefore, no official school mean score exists.

“Unlike the former system, KJSEA does not provide an aggregate score. Why? Because CBC is about nurturing individual potential, not ranking learners,” KNEC explained.

According to the KNEC, each subject is assessed independently. Learners’ achievements are reported using detailed performance levels a system designed to showcase competency in specific areas—rather than a single, reductive total score.

“The practice of creating an aggregate score and calculating a ‘school mean’ from the current results is entirely misleading and goes against the spirit and letter of the Competency-Based Curriculum,” the KNEC spokesperson added.

The Call to Action for Schools

Schools that have been circulating unofficial documents purporting to show ‘top schools’ based on an invented mean score are now being asked to immediately withdraw these analyses. Authorities warn that such actions confuse parents, put undue pressure on learners, and undermine the pedagogical shift intended by the CBC.

“There is, therefore, no school mean score as is depicted in the attached fake analysis,” KNEC said.
