Should the new dates be adopted, candidates and all other pupils will have a slight delay in the educational calendar, but will not repeat classes as had earlier been indicated.

All schools were closed in March after the country confirmed positive corona virus cases in the country.

The Ministry of Education rolled out online classes but that has not been very effective as some students come from remote areas with no access to electricity.

This new development also indicates that the country may soon be re-opened fully, since opening of schools is the major aspect that was still pending.
