The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has sent an encouraging message to candidates sitting the 2026 Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA), Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations, urging them to remain confident and trust in their preparation as the national examination period begins.
In a message addressed to candidates across the country, the commission extended its warmest wishes to all learners undertaking the three national examinations, recognising the dedication, discipline and hard work they have demonstrated throughout their academic journeys.
The TSC encouraged the 2026 examination candidates to approach the examinations with confidence, believe in their abilities and remain focused on achieving their academic goals.
“Your dedication, discipline, and sustained effort over the years have brought you to this pivotal milestone,” the commission said in its message.
The commission further reminded candidates that their future remains bright, encouraging them not to allow examination pressure to undermine their confidence.
TSC Encourages 2026 KCSE, KJSEA and KPSEA Candidates
The message comes as thousands of learners across Kenya prepare to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout their years of schooling.
The 2026 KCSE examinations mark an important milestone for secondary school learners seeking to complete their secondary education and qualify for opportunities in universities, colleges and other tertiary institutions.
Meanwhile, KJSEA candidates are undertaking assessments under Kenya’s Competency-Based Education (CBE) system as they complete the junior school level and prepare for their next stage of learning.
KPSEA candidates are also participating in the national assessment designed to evaluate learning outcomes at the end of primary school.
The three assessments represent important stages in Kenya’s education system, with learners, teachers, parents and school administrators playing critical roles in supporting candidates throughout the examination period.
Message to Teachers, Parents and Candidates
The TSC’s message also highlights the importance of continued encouragement and support from teachers, parents and guardians during the national examination period.
Candidates have been encouraged to remain disciplined, follow examination guidelines and approach every paper with a positive mindset.
Teachers have equally played an important role in preparing learners through classroom instruction, revision programmes and continuous assessment throughout the academic year.
As the 2026 national examinations get underway, the commission’s message serves as a reminder that examinations are an important academic milestone but do not define the full potential of any learner.
The TSC has wished all KPSEA, KJSEA and KCSE 2026 candidates success, expressing confidence in their abilities and encouraging them to approach the examinations with courage and determination.
Best wishes to all 2026 national examination candidates across Kenya.
