CS Machogu Rolls Out New School Academic Calendar 2024: Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has revealed strategies to recover the instructional time lost during the recent floods.
As communicated by the CS, intensified rainfall caused a one-week delay for students, who were originally slated to resume on April 29, 2024. Nonetheless, President William Ruto’s decision to indefinitely extend school closures due to flooding was subsequently reconsidered based on advisories from the Kenya Meteorological Department.
Term Two commenced on Monday, May 13
Term two commenced on Monday, May 13, adhering to a structured timeline that projects its conclusion on August 5. Notably, there will be a midterm break from June 20 to June 23, then an extended three-week vacation from August 5 to August 25.
As expected, term two for teachers’ training institutions commenced on April 29 and it will extend until August 2. Their August holidays are slated between August 5 and August 30.
