Updated 2024 School Academic Calendar for Term 2.
Ezekiel Machogu, the cabinet secretary for education, has laid out strategies to make up for the two weeks missed due to flooding. Students were supposed to start back in class on April 29, 2024, but the CS stated that they would be delayed by one week because of heavy rainfall.
President William Ruto, however, decided to further extend the suspension of the schools indefinitely because of flooding. Later, after receiving advice from the Kenya Meteorological Department, this decision was changed.
Second term started on May 13. The schedule indicates that the second term will conclude on August 5.
The midterm break which was scheduled for June 20–23 have been changed to June 26 – June 28, 2024.
Students will then have an extended three-week holiday from August 5 to August 25.
Term two for teachers’ training institutions will begin on April 29 and go through August 2. As a result, holidays are scheduled between August 5 and August 30.
According to the revised school calendar for the Second Term:
May 13: Nationwide reopening of schools after an extended closure.
June 26 – June 28, 2024: Schools take a half-term break for four days.
June 30, 2024: Reporting date for all boarding school learners after the half-term break
August 5: Schools close for the August holidays (the dates are subject to change based on Machogu’s revelations).
