This is one of the best statements made by the Undersecretary of Ministry of General Education and Instructions, Dr. Kuyok A. Kuyok that said, all the schools shall commence on the following day, the 5th of February 2024 and end on 20th of December 2024, any schools found operating in her own calendar shall be penalised.
We need the country’s calendar to be uniform, all the private schools should follow rules and regulations of Ministry of General Education and Instructions.
They should be under control of the government.
