School Calendar for secondary, and primary to return to normal as of Jan
School Calendar for Primary and Secondary schools is set to resume to normal starting January 2023, the Education Ministry has announced.
The school calendar was disrupted in 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic which saw the closure of basic learning institutions, also forcing the Ministry of Education to revise the term dates.
The first term for pre-primary, primary, and secondary schools will begin on January 23, 2023, and will last for 13 weeks, with the end date set for April 21, according to a statement from the office of the Principal Secretary for Basic Education.
The schedule indicates that classes will end on March 23, 2023, for a three-day half-term break, and resume on March 26, 2022.
“As you are aware, the school calendar was disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the calendar will revert back normally in January 2023,” reads the statement.
In the released calendar, term two will also run for 13 weeks starting May 8, 2023, until August 11, 2023.
Half term for term two will also be three days.
The third term will run for 10 weeks and will begin on August 23, 2023, to November 9, 2023.
National examinations will kick off on November 6 beginning with the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) which will take four days, followed by the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) which will start on the 10th of November and for a period of three weeks.
