Some of the reforms introduced by the Ministry of Education affect the school calendar. Unlike in the past when schools opened in the second week of January, public schools open their doors on January 2, 2018. That will present a reality check for parents who have immersed themselves in merry making this festive period.
For those joining the club of parents with students in secondary schools, the reality might hit a little too hard, given the mandatory requirements before a student is admitted to Form One.
