Schools across the country are set to reopen on Monday, August 25, for a short but intense third term marked by a packed calendar of national examinations, curriculum piloting, and financial strain for both schools and parents.

The nine-week term, the shortest in the school year, will run up to October 24, culminating in a high-stakes exam season that includes the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA), the Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA), and the Kenya Learners Education Assessment (KILEA).
