Cabinet meets on school crash programme
In summary National examinations to be done in March 2021. Learners in Class 8 and Form Four will report first and others will be staggered. Teachers will be trained on crash programmes so that they can cover syllabus for the year in good time.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is today expected to chair a Cabinet meeting to discuss a crash programme for schools which will see the traditional mid-term breaks scrapped and the long holidays shortened once learning resumes.
The Ministry of Education has already presented the proposed tight programme for the 2021 school calendar to the Cabinet office ahead of the meeting this morning.
“Part of the proposed changes will see schools forego the week-long half term breaks and the normal holidays of up to a month reduced by at least two weeks,” an official told People Daily yesterday.
The proposals further suggest that reopening of learning institutions expected next month be done in phases to avoid congestion.
The examination classes, Standard Eight and Form Four, are expected to be first to resume learning possibly in two weeks time, followed by Standard 7 and Form 3.
Similarly, it is expected that reopening be staggered between October 5 and 19 as the coronavirus trend is observed.
Once schools reopen, learning will go on uninterrupted until towards the end of December, when students will be released for a two-week Christmas and New Year holiday before resuming in early January.
