The Ministry of Education has changed the dates for half-term break for second term.
Initially, the learners were to break for second term half-term break from June 20 to 23.
In a circular dated May 24 to all County Directors of Education, the half-term dates have been moved to June 26.
"Following the disruptions of the opening dates, it has been decided that half-term dates fir term two be revised," the circular read in part.
The learners will break for mid-term from June 26 till June 28.
The ministry said all learners in boarding schools will be expected to report back on June 30, 2024.
The ministry noted that the changes may require adjustments on planned activities and schedules.
Schools were previously scheduled to open on April 29, but the Ministry of Education postponed the same due to floods.
Eventually, most schools reopened from May 13 which was two weeks late.
On whether the second term dates would be extended to recover the lost time, Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu on May 9 said second term would be extended for an unspecified period.
He said the extension is to allow schools to adequately cover the syllabus, especially for candidates preparing for the national examinations scheduled for November.
"Particularly for Form Four candidates, we will see how we can recover time lost by extending the term by a few days. They were expected to close for three weeks in August and we might minimise the number of days schools will be closed," Machogu said.
The CS insisted that the national exam dates will remain unchanged.
"The exam calendar will remain the same as KCSE and KPSEA will be taken in the normal time from November," Machogu said.
When schools opened two weeks late, some still remained closed due to the floods.
These were particularly schools from seven counties including Homa Bay, Kisumu and Tana River County.
