The schools were initially set to break from Thursday, June 29, 2023, to Sunday, July 2, 2023.

The Ministry of Education has directed all schools to break for their mid-term from Tuesday, June 27 to July 1, 2023. 

This is after the Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association (KESSHA) requested the Education Ministry to reschedule the dates as they were coinciding with KESSHA’S 46th Annual National Conference. 

Basic Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang in a letter to KESSHA chair Indimuli Kahi dated April 24 honoured the request to revise the dates noting that the conference is important to school managers.

“The Ministry recognizes that the National KESSHA Conference is an important event that allows school managers to make a review and share experiences in running schools. Consequently, the midterm dates for second term year 2023 has been rescheduled to start from 27th June to 1st July 2023,” the letter read in part.
