The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has announced the release of Teacher Education Assessment and Examination results for six cohorts, directing candidates to collect or access their results through their respective colleges.
The announcement covers trainees who sat examinations under various teacher education programmes, including the Diploma in Primary Teacher Education (DPTE), Diploma in Secondary Teacher Education (DSTE), Diploma in Early Childhood Teacher Education (DECTE), Diploma in Teacher Education (DTE), Diploma in Special Needs Education (DSNE) and Teacher Certificate in Adult Education (TCAE).
According to the notice, the results have been released and dispatched to colleges. Candidates are therefore advised to contact their training institutions to establish when and how they can access their individual results.
However, KNEC has clarified that results for colleges with outstanding assessment and examination fee balances have been withheld pending payment of the arrears.
KNEC Releases Results for Six Teacher Education Cohorts
The examination council has listed the following teacher education programmes and cohorts among those whose results have been released.
| Teacher education programme | Cohort |

The announcement covers candidates pursuing professional training in primary education, secondary education, early childhood education, special needs education and adult education.
The release of the results is an important development for trainees who have been waiting to confirm their examination performance and establish their next steps in their academic and professional journeys.
Candidates are encouraged to confirm that their respective colleges have received the results before making arrangements to collect or access them.
How to Check KNEC Teacher Education Examination Results
Candidates who sat the listed assessments and examinations have been advised to obtain their results from their respective colleges.
Unlike examination results that may be accessed through a candidate-facing online portal, the notice directs the affected teacher trainees to their training institutions.
Candidates should follow these steps to establish the availability of their results.
- Contact the administration or examination office of the college where they registered for the examinations.
- Confirm whether the college has received the results from KNEC.
- Provide the necessary candidate details to help the institution identify their examination records.
- Follow the college’s instructions on collecting or accessing the results.
Candidates who encounter difficulties should seek clarification from their college administration before assuming that their results have been withheld or that they did not perform well.

KNEC Withholds Results for Colleges With Outstanding Fees
In a significant clarification, KNEC stated that results for colleges with outstanding assessment and examination fee balances have been withheld pending the settlement of the arrears.
The council indicated that the affected colleges have been notified and advised to clear their outstanding balances to facilitate the release of the results.
This means that although the results for the six listed cohorts have been released and dispatched, some candidates may not immediately access their individual results if their institutions are affected by unpaid fees.
Trainees whose results are unavailable should contact their college administration to establish whether the institution has received the results and whether outstanding payments are affecting their release.
The council’s notice places responsibility on the affected colleges to settle their outstanding balances so that the withheld results can be released.
Candidates should also avoid interpreting the absence of their results as proof that they failed an examination. They should first obtain clarification from their institutions about the reason for the delay.
What the Results Mean for Teacher Trainees
The release of examination results is an important step for candidates seeking to establish their academic progress and plan their next moves.
Trainees should obtain their official results and consult their colleges about any additional requirements that may apply to their programmes. These may include supplementary assessments, progression requirements or other examination procedures, depending on the candidate’s circumstances.
Candidates who have completed their programmes should also confirm the requirements for certification and the collection of relevant academic documents.
It is important to note that the release of examination results does not automatically mean that every candidate has completed all requirements for graduation or certification. Candidates should confirm their individual status with their institutions.
The announcement is particularly relevant to trainees who have been waiting for their examination outcomes to determine whether they can proceed with further training or complete outstanding academic requirements.
What Candidates Should Do Next
Candidates in the affected cohorts should contact their colleges as soon as possible to confirm the availability of their results.
Those whose results are unavailable should ask their institutions whether the delay is related to outstanding assessment and examination fees or another administrative issue.
Colleges affected by unpaid balances are expected to clear their arrears to facilitate the release of the withheld results.
Candidates should rely on official communication from KNEC and their respective colleges for accurate information about their examination outcomes and any additional steps they need to take.
The Kenya National Examinations Council remains responsible for administering the relevant assessments and examinations, while the colleges are the designated points of contact for candidates seeking the results covered by the announcement.
Conclusion
KNEC has released teacher education assessment and examination results for six cohorts covering DPTE, DSTE, DECTE, DTE, DSNE Parts I and II, and TCAE.
The results have been dispatched to colleges, and candidates are advised to obtain them through their respective institutions.
However, results for colleges with outstanding assessment and examination fee balances remain withheld until the arrears are settled.
Affected candidates should contact their colleges promptly to confirm the availability of their results and determine whether any action is required.
The announcement offers an important update for teacher trainees across the country who are waiting to establish their examination outcomes and plan their next academic steps.
