Grade 9 students in Kenya will begin the Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) written examinations on Monday, October 26, 2026. The exams will start with English Language and English Composition and will continue over several days. The KJSEA is a national assessment designed to evaluate the academic performance of students at the end of primary school.

The exam schedule includes multiple subjects, with English Language and English Composition as the first papers. The assessment aims to provide a standardized measure of student achievement across the country. Schools are required to follow strict guidelines to ensure the integrity of the examination process.

The KJSEA has been a key part of Kenya's education system for several years, serving as a benchmark for student progress. This year's exams will follow the same structure as previous years, with a focus on assessing core competencies in language and other essential subjects. The results will be used to inform future educational planning and policy development.
