The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has flagged a Telegram channel promising good results to parents and candidates of the 2024 Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) exams.
In a statement on Wednesday, January 8, 2024, a day after releasing the results, KNEC flagged the channel as a “scam”.
The assesment exams were done by Grade 6 pupils who will now be joining Grade 7.
At least 1,303,913 Grade 6 students sat the KPSEA exams between October 28 and November 1, 2024, across 35,573 centres in the country.
Among the subjects that the learners sat are Mathematics, English, Integrated Science, Kiswahili, Creative Arts, and Social Studies.
Learners will not be ranked, but the KPSEA will contribute 20% to the overall score, alongside a 20% school-based assessment in Grade 7 and a 60% summative evaluation at the end of Grade 9.
Grade 9 will signal the conclusion of Junior School, with learners advancing to Senior School in 2026, where they will have the opportunity to select their career pathways.
