The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has refuted claims circulating on social media alleging that the council is involved in altering results for the recently concluded national examinations.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the council cautioned the public about an emerging scheme in which individuals are urging parents to contact them for alleged exam result editing services.
KNEC indicated that the fraudsters have been creating WhatsApp groups and channels where they are soliciting money from unmindful parents and students under the guise of manipulating scores.
The council clarified that all answer scripts are anonymised throughout the examination process to protect candidates' identities and uphold the integrity of marking.
KNEC warned, ''Beware of fraudsters purporting to be able to alter candidates’ scores during the marking of the KCSE examination or KJSEA. Please note that all candidates’ answer scripts are anonymised to protect their identity and ensure integrity during marking.''
The council added, ''Do not fall prey to fraudulent activities on social media. Stay alert.''
Earlier, the Ministry of Education announced that the 2025 KPSEA and KJSEA results would be released on December 11, while the KCSE results would be issued in January 2026.
A total of 996,078 candidates sat the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams, marking one of the largest KCSE cohorts in recent years.
More than 2.4 million learners also undertook the KPSEA and KJSEA assessments administered across the country.
Of these, 1,130,669 learners in Grade 9 sat the Junior School assessment (KJSEA), forming the second-largest group in this year’s exam cycle.
Another 1,298,089 Grade 6 pupils undertook the KPSEA, completing the final stage of the competency-based curriculum’s primary-level assessment.
The KJSEA, which ran from October 27 to November 3, marked the first national examination for junior school learners under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), aimed at ensuring a smooth transition to senior school.
In total, KNEC administered national examinations and assessments to 3,424,836 learners nationwide.
