This is how you can find out if your child is registered for the 2024 KAPSEA, KCSE exams

As the deadline for registration for the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) draws near, parents and schools are scrambling to ensure that all eligible learners are registered on the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) portals.

The KPSEA is a national examination administered by KNEC to Grade 6 learners who are about to move from upper primary to junior or lower secondary school under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).

In these examinations, students are assessed on what they have learnt in grades one to six.

In a release issued on February 1, KNEC announced the opening of its registration portals and instructed school principals to ensure that all eligible learners are registered before the deadline of March 29, which is only two days away.
