The Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) has officially released the 2025 results for Grade 6 learners and their special needs counterparts at the intermediate level.
More than 1.29 million Grade 6 learners and 3,751 special needs candidates received their performance reports for the 2025 Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) and the Kenya Intermediate Level Assessment (Kilea) respectively.
The results, released this week, are accessible to schools through the Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) portal, enabling institutions to review individual learner performance reports.
“The 2025 KPSEA and Kilea performance reports are ready for access by schools and candidates,” Knec said in a post on X. “Schools can access the individual learner performance reports on the CBA portal (https://cba.knec.ac.ke ).”
The Grade 6 learners sat for assessments from October 27 to October 30, 2025, while learners with special needs completed their examinations between October 27 and October 31, 2025.
The examination council said that all candidates must be eligible learners registered in their respective institutions.
Required registration details included learners’ names as per their birth certificates, gender, year of birth, citizenship, and the chosen religious education option. For special needs learners, registration also captured categories such as Visual Impairment (VI) for blind candidates requiring Braille, Low Vision (LP) for those needing large-print papers, and Hearing Impairment (HI).
The KPSEA is a key milestone for Grade 6 learners as they prepare to transition to Grade 7. The assessment evaluates practical skills and competencies, with the results accounting for 20 percent of a learner’s overall score, complemented by another 20 percent from school-based assessments.
The government funded the assessment fees for learners in both public and private schools, except for non-citizens, who paid Sh750.
The release of the KPSEA and Kilea results comes shortly after the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results, marking the third-to-last cohort under the outgoing education system.
