What you need to know:

  • Kenyans are anxious to know the exact opening dates even as teachers report on duty today to get ready for the learners. 
  • At today’s meeting, the team will also discuss whether to adopt a change in the school calendar, with June proposed as the new academic year date. 

The government will today decide on school opening dates as the Cabinet and the national stakeholders’ committee meet to discuss two proposals mooted by the education task force and the Council of Governors.

The stakeholders’ committee will be chaired by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and his Health counterpart, Mr Mutahi Kagwe.
