Grade nine learners across Kenya can now breathe easier. The Kenya Junior School Education Assessment results for the 2025 cohort are officially out, and the Ministry of Education has issued clear guidelines on how parents, teachers, and learners can access them quickly.
The government has activated a dedicated SMS platform that delivers full KJSEA results directly to mobile phones, including a learner’s school placement choices based on their career pathways.
With over one million learners transitioning to senior secondary schools, knowing how to check KJSEA results correctly is crucial. This guide breaks it down in simple, clear steps.
How to Check KJSEA Exam Results
The Ministry of Education and Kenya’s leading telecommunications company have confirmed that the KJSEA 2025 results are available through an easy text message process.
This platform helps parents and learners view their scores, confirm their selected career pathway schools, and prepare for the next transition stage.
Below is a simple breakdown to help you access the results without confusion or delay.
How to Check KJSEA Results Using the Official SMS Code
Parents and learners can get the results instantly using the government-approved SMS service.
Send the learner’s assessment number to 22263 on any mobile network. Each SMS costs Ksh30.
The message returns the learner’s complete KJSEA results, including their subject performance and their selected senior school options. This system is the only official method currently active for checking the results, and it guarantees accuracy and reliability.
The Ministry cautions families to avoid online shortcuts or unknown brokers. KNEC recently warned the public about fraudsters pretending to alter results for money. Only the 22263 shortcode delivers valid results.
How to Check KJSEA Exams Results And Confirm Placement Choices
The SMS also provides school placement information linked to the learner’s chosen career pathway.
These choices are important because they determine where the learner will join senior secondary school next year.
The ministry indicated that placements will happen within a week after results release. Learners will then be able to download or print their placement letters before December 25. Reporting to new schools is expected by January 12, 2026.
This means checking results early helps families plan ahead, buy uniforms and prepare documents on time.
How to Avoiding Common Mistakes
Many parents send the wrong assessment numbers or mistype digits, leading to failed SMS responses.
Double-check the learner’s assessment number before sending it. Ensure your phone has enough airtime for at least one message.
If the SMS delays, wait a few minutes and avoid sending repeated messages too quickly. Network congestion can cause slow replies during peak hours.
Most importantly, ignore individuals claiming to upgrade marks or change results. KNEC confirmed that the national database cannot be altered, and anyone promising otherwise is a scammer.
