It’s another big day for learners as they set to resume school today for a 14-week Second Term, with a half-term break set to begin on June 29 and end on July 3.
The remaining school calendar looks like this:

The term will end on August 12 with learners proceeding for a two-week holiday up to August 27. After the holiday, learners will resume Term Three—the shortest in the school calendar—until October 27.

The Kenya Certificate of Primary Education exams, Kenya Primary School Education Assessment, and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exams will be undertaken thereafter.
Term Two will also see the reintroduction of co-curricular activities suspended after the Covid-19 pandemic.

The reporting comes after the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) on May 1 said that it has already processed 50 percent of the salaries paid to the newly employed 35,550 Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers.

In a statement, the commission blamed the salary issue on delayed reporting by some of the teachers to their respective stations. TSC has advised teachers to confirm the payments with their respective banks, promising to effect all salaries in May.

“We apologize for any delays that may have been occasioned by late reporting of teachers to their stations, or delayed submission of requisite documents,” read part of the statement.
