Unlike proposals for a phased reopening of schools,all learners will be expected to report back on the same day and proceed with studies through the term.
She explains that school will resume for the first term on January 10 to Apirl 15, 2022. Learners have a three weeks holiday and return for second term on May 9 which will also end on August 12. The third term is scheduled to start on September 5 and run into December 9.
Janet Museveni made the announcement during the closure of the Education Sector Review that took place at Kololo Independence Grounds today.
As part of the recovery plan and ensuring that learners catch up on the lost time during the unprecedented school closure, the education ministry embarked on developing a reduced version of the current curriculum by extracting topics that are center to ensure that once acquired, the learners will be able to cope up with learning at the next level.
