Learners in primary and secondary schools as well as teachers training colleges will enjoy a 10-week holiday before schools reopen early next year. This is according to the term dates schedule released by the Ministry of Education on Friday. 

Schools are set to officially close on October 27, 2023 to pave way for national examinations. The ministry has announced that learning will resume on January 8, 2024 for Term I. This means learners will be at home for 72 days as opposed to the two-week breaks they had at the end of Term I and II.
