Grade 6 KPSEA Candidates Are Informed as KNEC Releases Complete 2025 Examination Schedule
The Kenya National Examination Council has announced stringent measures for Grade 6 candidates in advance of national assessments. The examinations will take place from October 24 to October 29, 2025.
As per KNEC Chief Executive Officer Dr. Sarah Njeru, candidates must arrive at examination centers fifteen minutes prior to the scheduled time. “Any student arriving thirty minutes late will encounter serious consequences,” she cautioned.
KNEC has provided comprehensive timetables indicating that Mathematics will initiate the assessment period on October 27. English papers will follow on the same day after a thirty-minute intermission.
Candidates are subjected to strict prohibitions against possessing mobile phones within examination rooms. Students discovered with electronic devices face immediate disqualification from the entire assessment.
Science subjects will be the focal point on the second day of examinations, commencing at 8:30 AM. Kiswahili (‘Swahili language’) assessments will occur at 11:10 AM on that day.
Security protocols necessitate thorough searches of candidates prior to their entry into examination halls. Dr. Njeru underscored the importance of preserving examination credibility through rigorous monitoring protocols.
Educators have received explicit directives regarding the maintenance of assessment integrity throughout this period. “Kusaidia wanafunzi” (‘helping students’) during examinations will lead to severe disciplinary consequences.
Creative Arts will conclude the assessment schedule on Wednesday, October 29. Social Studies papers will finalize the examination calendar on that same morning.
Special arrangements have been made to accommodate candidates requiring modified examination materials. Braille users will be allotted an additional forty minutes for each paper.
Centre managers are required to ensure the completion of “maandalizi” (‘preparations’) prior to examination dates. Local security teams will oversee all examination materials continuously.
Education officials have confirmed the deployment of monitors across examination centers nationwide. Multi-agency teams will supervise the seamless execution of the assessment process.
Teachers have been issued a strict warning against “kuingilia” (‘interference’) with examination procedures. Examination supervisors must immediately report any suspicious activities.
Parents have received recommendations regarding appropriate candidate preparation for assessment days. Transportation arrangements should ensure compliance with early arrival requirements.
School heads are obliged to ensure “usafi” (‘cleanliness’) of examination venues prior to the assessment dates. Adequate ventilation is mandatory for all examination rooms.
The assessment council has emphasized the maintenance of quiet zones surrounding examination centers. Communities adjacent to schools are required to observe silence during examination hours.
