The Ministry of Education has allowed boarding schools to release their students for half term break beginning Monday, June 24.
This is an impromptu change to the school calendar. Earlier, the second term's half term break was scheduled to begin on Wednesday, June 26.
In a memo to school principals, the Ministry of Education explained that early departure is designed to give students and parents ample time to make travel plans ahead of the planned Finance Bill protests planned for Tuesday.
Some of the school principals, as a result, sent messages to parents notifying them to pick the students beginning today failure to which, they will only be able to pick students on Wednesday.
Since Tuesday last week, Kenyan citizens, majority of whom are Gen Zs, having been taking to the streets to reject the Finance Bill 2024 proposals.
On Thursday last week, the protests erupted across the country cutting across cities and other towns among them Eldoret, Nanyuki, and Nyeri among others.
