KNEC issues instructions on registration of 2025 KPSEA candidates
Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has issued instructions on the registration of Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) candidates
The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has issued instructions on the registration of Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) candidates.
The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has instructed school heads to ensure that all learners in Grade 6 are registered afresh through the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) registration portal.
In a statement on Friday, January 31, KNEC directed that the correction of the candidate’s bio data must be effected during registration where applicable.
“For accuracy of data submitted, ensure correct spelling and order of learner’s names as documented in the birth certificate, gender, year of birth, citizenship, religious education option registered for and categories of special needs and disabilities where applicable,” KNEC stated.
The examinations council further asked the school heads to ensure the transfer of candidates is done online and be concluded by February 28.
At the same time, KNEC stated that eligible KPSEA candidates not registered in the Grade 6 portal must be registered in the portal first and school heads should confirm from their school portals that the School Based Assessment (SBA) scores for Grade 4 and 5 are uploaded for all candidates registered for KPSEA.
The council warned against ghost registration of learners and maintained that learners registered for KPSEA are eligible learners in their respective institutions.

“Candidates presented for the assessment must be eligible learners in the respective institutions presenting them. Registration of ghost candidates constitutes an assessment malpractice which attracts sanctions, including deregistration of the school as a KNEC assessment centre,” KNEC remarked.
The registration of 2025 KPSEA candidates began on January 27 and will conclude on February 28.
Speaking on Thursday, January 9, during the release of the KCSE examinations results, KNEC CEO Dr. David Njengere insisted on the importance of accuracy during the registration process of national exams, citing past errors that had significant consequences for candidates.
Njengere urged schools and examination centres to ensure proper registration in 2025 as any errors would lead to deferment.
“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 stated.
