Govt Won’t Extend Term II Despite Postponements in School Reopening.
Belio Kipsang, the principal secretary for education, has instructed schools to stick to the academic calendars that were previously established by the Ministry, even with the prolonged shutdown brought on by the flooding.
Kipsang instead instructed schools to create a plan to make up for the time lost as a result of the delays in the resumption of schools, in a circular to school heads.
In case learning is impacted by the continuous, intense rains around the country, the Ministry has also asked schools to modify their class schedules.
Regarding school transportation, however, schools have been instructed to stick to the 6 am to 6 pm schedule.
The PS’s most recent instruction follows Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu’s announcement that the government will think about extending the second term in light of the prolonged closure.
In order to fit the syllabus’s coverage, he had hinted that the government would think about shortening the August holiday by a few days.
“The extended school closure has lasted for two weeks. Machogu said on Thursday, “We’ll examine it, especially for students in Form Four, and see if we can salvage it by extending the term for a few days.
The most recent modifications, however, were made at the request of education stakeholders, who pointed out that shortening the term two holiday dates would interfere with the August music festival.
Following their forced closure due to flooding, schools are scheduled to reopen on Monday, May 13.
Before taking a half-term holiday from June 20 to June 23, the students will study for six weeks.
Students will return on August 5 for the second half of the second term. The August vacation is scheduled to last for three weeks.
On Monday, August 26, schools around the nation will reopen for the third term.
