2025 Training for KJSEA Examiners

Welcome to ReviseKenya.co.ke, your trusted resource for educational updates and revision materials in Kenya!

The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has recently announced an exciting opportunity for teachers to train as examiners for the Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA). If you’re a qualified teacher looking to enhance your career and contribute to Kenya’s Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), this is your chance to join KNEC’s esteemed pool of examiners. Here’s everything you need to know about the August 2025 KJSEA examiners’ training and how to apply.

What is the KJSEA Examiners’ Training?

The KJSEA is a critical assessment for Grade 9 learners under the CBC, evaluating their skills through projects, practicals, and theory papers. To ensure accurate and fair marking, KNEC is organizing a comprehensive training program for examiners in July and August 2025. This training equips teachers with the skills to assess KJSEA papers effectively, covering subjects like English, Kiswahili, Mathematics, Integrated Science, Agriculture, Religious Education, Creative Arts, and more.

The training will be conducted in two phases:

• Online Training: Shortlisted candidates will access digital learning materials to begin their preparation.
• Residential Training: A mandatory in-person session at a designated venue, details of which will be shared with successful applicants.

Successful trainees will be added to KNEC’s examiner database and may be engaged to mark KJSEA assessments from October to November 2025, based on subject-specific needs. This is not only a professional development opportunity but also a chance to earn additional income while contributing to Kenya’s education system.
