The Ministry of Education has made an impromptu change on the planned half-term break.
In a memo sent to all school heads, the Ministry of Education led by Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has directed the institutions to break from Monday, June 24, 2024.
Initially, the second term’s half-term break was scheduled to begin on Wednesday, June 26, 2024.
In a memo to school principals, the Ministry of Education explained that early departure is designed to give students and parents ample time to make travel plans ahead of the planned Finance Bill protests planned for Tuesday.
Some of the school principals, as a result, sent messages to parents notifying them to pick the students beginning today failure to which, they will only be able to pick students on Wednesday.
“Following the disruption of the opening dates, it has been decided that the half-term dates for term two 2024 be revised,” read the memo in part.
“The change may require adjustments on planned activities and schedules.”
