However, not everybody is in the same boat regarding the 2023 school academic calendar. On Thursday, the 5th of January 2023, the National Parents Association (NPA) Silas Obuhatsa urged the government to consider delaying the reinstatement of the normal school calendar.

Obuhatsa implored the Ministry of Education to allow Grade 6 learners enough time to transition to Junior Secondary Schools (JSS).

“The government has the right to postpone schools reopening for one or two months to have these structures in place before learning can resume,” said Obuhatsa.
