Over 1.1 million candidates who sat the first Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) will today know their examination score, which marks a major shift away from the competition-driven 8-4-4 model. 

For the Grade 9 candidates, today also marks the beginning of their walk towards their future careers which begins soon after the ministry places them in respective pathway schools.
