What is KSJEA?

Purpose:
- Assess Grade 6 competencies
- Track learning progress
- Identify learning gaps
- Provide feedback to learners and parents
- Guide teaching and learning
Example: KSJEA helps teachers know which areas students need more support in before proceeding to Grade 7.
When Are KSJEA Results Released?
Timeline:
- Exams conducted: Usually mid-year (around June/July)
- Marking period: 2-3 weeks
- Results release: Usually August/September
Example: If exams ended July 15th, expect results around early August.
Note: KSJEA is NOT a placement exam like KCPE. It’s a formative assessment to track progress.
