The Ministry of Education has revised the term dates for the 2020 academic year. In a circular dated 12th February, 2020 , and written by the Principal Secretary, Dr. Belio R. Kipsang, term dates for Pre-Primary, Primary, secondary schools and Teacher Training Colleges have been altered. In the revised term dates, candidates will sit for their examinations earlier than had already programmed. Schools will now, also, close early in term three to pave way for execution of the national examinations.

“Following stakeholders’ consultation on the above subject (2020 term dates), it has been found necessary to revise the term dates for the calendar year 2020 for schools and colleges,” reads the Circular sent to all Regional Directors of Education.

Just like it was in 2019, there will be no half term break in third term of 2020.

NEW DATES

In the latest directive, the closing date for all primary schools in term three has been moved from October 30, 2020 to 23rd October, 2020. Also changed is the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, KCPE, examination period that has now been slated for October 26 to October 29, 2020.

For Secondary schools, the closing date in term three has been moved from October 30, 2020 to 23rd October, 2020. Just like the KCPE examination, the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination period has been altered to between November 2 and November 25, 2020.

College students have been added an extra one day holiday in term one as their closing date has been moved backwards to 09/04/2020 from the initial closing date of 10/04/2020.
