Schools across Kenya are entering the final days of the second term, with learners, teachers and parents preparing for the official closure of the term on 31 July, in accordance with the Ministry of Education's 2026 academic calendar.
As the holiday approaches, schools are working to complete classroom instruction, administer continuous assessment tests and finalise academic records.
Teachers are also focused on ensuring that the planned syllabus for the term is adequately covered before learners break for the August holiday.
Education stakeholders have encouraged students to remain committed to their studies during the remaining days of the term, noting that this period is important for reinforcing concepts taught over the past months.
Schools are also expected to conclude internal examinations, co-curricular activities and other administrative responsibilities before the official closing date.
Parents and guardians have been urged to continue supporting their children's education by encouraging regular school attendance, creating a conducive environment for learning and ensuring learners are well prepared for end-of-term assessments.
Following the closure of schools on 31 July, learners will proceed for the August holiday before reporting back for the third and final term on 24 August.
The final term is expected to focus heavily on revision and preparation for national examinations, particularly for candidates sitting the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and other national assessments.
Schools are expected to intensify revision programmes to help examination candidates strengthen their understanding of key subjects ahead of the examination period.
The Ministry of Education has reiterated the importance of adhering to the official school calendar and maintaining discipline and effective learning until the last day of the term.
The ministry has also indicated that future academic calendars may be reviewed to ensure a balanced school schedule that supports quality education and improved learning outcomes.
