Updated Events Calendar for All Schools for Term 3 in 2023
The School Calendar for Term 3 including primary and secondary schools in Kenya was recently announced by the Education Ministry.
The start of Term 1 for elementary students in 2023 is set for January 23. It will last for 13 weeks and end on April 21 in all schools.
The third term of 2023 is predicted to be the shortest of the year. Students will be attending class for only around two months to study for the national exams. As a result, this term was scheduled to start on August 28 and last for a maximum of 10 weeks. It’s likely to end on November 3.

The KCPE and KCSE national exams are scheduled to start in November 2023. The KCPE exams will be held from November 6 through November 9, 2023. On the other hand, the KCSE exams are scheduled to take place from November 11 through December 1, 2023.
The national examinations will be marked starting on December 4 and running through December 22 of 2023 following the exams.
According to the ministry release, the change in term dates aims to restore order to the school calendar. The calendar had been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in Kenya since 2020.
Following consultations with education stakeholders, new term dates were established to cover the final two terms of the preceding 2020 school year and to stabilize the academic year by December 2022.
It’s worth taking into account that the term dates above apply to all government institutions, primary and secondary schools alike.
