The Ministry of Education has issued a new calendar for the third term. It has also postponed the Home Science practical examination paper because of the presidential election.
“Given the number of schools gazetted as polling stations and tallying centres for the election, it has become necessary to make minor adjustments to the third term dates. This is to free up the institutions for use during this important national exercise,” said Education CS Dr. Fred Matiang’i.
The Home Science practical paper that was scheduled for October 26 will take place on October 30.
All primary schools will now close on October 25; Form One to Form Three students will go on holiday on October 24 as the Form Four candidates prepare to sit the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exam.
The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education examination will start on October 31 and end on November 2 while the KCSE theory papers will begin on November 6 and end on November 29.
