Education CS George Magoha has announced that schools will now reopen on August 15, 2022.
In a memo issued on Wednesday, August 10, Magoha noted that due to the tallying of results, the opening dates had been pushed from 11th to 15th August 2022.
"On 1st August 2022, I ordered the early closure of all Basic Education Institutions to allow for adequate preparation and conduct of the General Elections. We indicated that reopening would be on the 11th of August 2022.
"We have however been informed that the process of tallying of ballots may still be ongoing on the aforementioned date. Therefore, following further consultations, I hereby convey the Government’s decision that Basic Education Institutions will re-open from Monday, 15th August 2022," part of the memo read.
