The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has officially released the 2025 teacher assessment and examination results. This announcement, made today, marks a pivotal moment for thousands of aspiring teachers pursuing diplomas and certificates in education. As the KCSE examinations kick off this week, with oral papers underway and practical’s set to begin on October 22, this timely release allows institutions to prepare candidates for the next steps in their professional journeys.
What Results Have Been Released?
KNEC’s notice highlights the release of results for several key teacher education programs, accessible exclusively through the Competency-Based Assessment Teacher Education (CBATE) portal. These include:
- Diploma in Teacher Education (DTE): A three-year program for future secondary school teachers post-KCSE. Graduates earn a diploma qualifying them for teaching roles in high schools.
- Primary Teacher Education (PTE) Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC): Designed for primary-level educators, emphasizing modern CBC methodologies.
- Early Childhood Teacher Education (ECTE) CBC: Focused on foundational learning for young children, preparing candidates for ECDE centers.
- Teacher Certificate in Adult Education (TCAE): A two-year certificate for adult learning instructors, administered under the Ministry of Education.
Only colleges that have cleared full payments with KNEC will access these results. Individual candidates are urged to contact their institutions promptly, as direct public access isn’t available online like KCSE results.
How to Check Your Results: Step-by-Step Guide
Securing your results is straightforward but institution-dependent. Here’s how to proceed:
- Contact Your College Administration: Reach out to your training institution immediately. Provide your student ID, full name, and exam index number. Colleges download bulk results from the CBATE portal.
- Access via CBATE Portal (For Institutions): Log in at the official CBATE site using your college’s credentials. Navigate to the “Results Release” section, select the relevant exam series (2025 PTE/DTE/ECTE/TCAE), and generate printouts or slips. Ensure your college has uploaded accurate candidate data beforehand.
- Verify Details on Your Slip: Once received, check for accuracy: index number, year (2025), gender, subject grades, and overall mean grade. Grades like “U” indicate unmet entry requirements, while “CRNM” signals incomplete course prerequisites. Report discrepancies to KNEC within 30 days via their Nairobi offices or hotline.
- Seek Support if Needed: If your college faces delays, email KNEC at [email protected] or call 020-2341115. For lost slips, apply for certification letters at a fee.
This process underscores KNEC’s commitment to credible assessments, aligning with Kenya’s push for quality teacher training amid curriculum reforms.
