The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has officially opened its Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) portal to allow schools to register Grade 3 learners who do not yet have assessment numbers.
In a statement released on Wednesday, KNEC urged school administrators to log into the portal and complete the registration process for their learners.
“The CBA portal is now accessible for the registration of Grade 3 learners. Additionally, the portal is open for Grade 6 learners who do not have assessment numbers. Schools are required to log in and ensure all eligible learners are registered,” the statement read.
At the same time, KNEC has directed schools to first register Grade 6 learners under the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) portal before proceeding with their official KPSEA registration.
Schools must ensure that every learner receives an assessment number before they can be registered for the KPSEA exams.
The council emphasized that no learner without an assessment number would be allowed to sit for the exams.
“It is important to note that before a learner can be registered for KPSEA, they MUST first be listed on the Grade 6 portal and assigned an assessment number. Any learner without an assessment number will not be eligible for KPSEA registration,” KNEC warned.
KNEC had earlier announced that the registration for KPSEA candidates who are scheduled to sit for their exams in November had already begun. The registration period started in late January, with the deadline set for February 28.
During the registration process, school heads are required to verify several key details about each candidate, including their gender, date of birth, citizenship status, religious education preference, and any disabilities. This is to ensure that all student information is correctly recorded.
Although KNEC has not yet released the official dates for this year’s KPSEA examinations, last year’s exams were conducted under strict measures to prevent cheating.
Among the regulations introduced were strict guidelines for candidates, such as a rule preventing students from leaving the exam room before the test period ended unless they had special permission from the supervisor.
Additionally, candidates were strictly warned against exposing their answers, helping others, or attempting to receive unfair assistance.
Any exam scripts showing evidence of cheating or misconduct would lead to serious consequences.
