Pro. George Magoha, CS Ministry of Education, has once again stressed that all students are expected to complete four terms in a year instead of three terms as in the normal calendar of the year.
The change has come into effect as the government is trying to cover time lost during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the closure of schools for more than 8 months last year in 2021.
Most of the students reported in their respective schools in January this year to complete the third term of 2021, which is scheduled to end on March 4.
This means that the term for 2022 will last for three, nine weeks, thus learners will take a leave on March 4, 2022 and resume on April 25 for the first term of 2022, a leave that lasts for about two months will do This is the opposite of the first. A message is being circulated on social media that schools will remain closed on February 25.
During this period (from March 4 to April 25) Class VIII and Form IV candidates will appear for their final national examinations.
Unlike other years when the calendar was normal, official closing dates can be as late as March.
This time, the education ministry came up with the calendar, which everyone should know about and get ready, hence the dates have been changed to the official dates of March 4.
Unlike other previous years when the calendar was normal, term 2022 will begin on April 25 and end on July 1.
