Close for 3 months in December exam season.

This is just crazy!!!!

Who did the white haired professor consult?

Idle mateeniz for 3 months .pregnancies , drugs and other antisocietal behaviours are here with us .

What are the activities that can keep the young kids busy in the 3 months?

I just dont like the way the Ministry of Education keeps on changing policies without warning or consultation. Same thing with the Private vs Public schools Form One selections. And Kiyaapi thinks he can be president!

I thought as parents we are stakeholders. Why are we not being consulted???ABK

Has this been confirmed?? Disaster! :(((

Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.

Do parents send their kids to school to keep them away from trouble? Isn't that an abdication of duty?

The reason fronted by the ministry(curbing cheating) is not convincing though.

Hold your horses!!!!

This was a proposal.

The minister asked for feedback.

In short; he is consulting before issuing a legal notice to effect the proposal.

Looking at the reactions thus far I don't think it will be gazetted.

me too.... as parents we should be able to find some meaningful things for our children to do every time there is opportunities... not just books books books and more books. that is why most of them cant even make themselves a meal even at the age of 20yrs. We need to get time with these people coz the teacher alone cant manage them. Today every parent cares only about whether the kid has passed exam well and can join national school; not whether the kid could be taking marijuana or having unprotected sex. as long as they can pass all is good. hawa watoto ni wetu, hapana sema professor amewafukuza when he gives you more time to mentor them.... kwani mnaogopa watoto wenu jameni? Or you only have time for work, business and friends?

My opinion is that it is a bad idea. Research has shown that shorter holidays are actually better than long ones... perhaps we should consider having FOUR terms instead of three, but retaining the same 34 weeks at school - though that will come with additional commuting expenses.

These make interesting reading:
