The Ministry of Education has confirmed that learners across the country will proceed for a half-term break beginning February 25, 2026, offering students a short but important pause during the ongoing academic term.
According to the official school calendar, classes will resume on March 1, 2026, allowing learners to return refreshed and better prepared for the remaining weeks of the term.
Education officials explained that the half-term break is a key part of the academic schedule, designed to support both learning effectiveness and student well-being.
The brief rest period helps learners recover from continuous classroom activities, assignments, and assessments, reducing fatigue and improving concentration.
Teachers are also expected to benefit from the break. The pause allows educators to review students’ progress, mark completed work, and adjust teaching strategies where necessary.
School administrators noted that the interval helps teachers plan ahead and ensure lessons remain engaging and productive.
Parents have welcomed the announcement, saying the break offers an opportunity to spend quality time with their children.
Some families plan to use the period for revision and academic support, while others see it as a chance for recreational activities, talent development, and short trips that contribute to holistic growth.
The Ministry emphasized the importance of clear communication on school holiday dates to help schools and families plan effectively without disrupting learning.
Learners have been encouraged to balance rest with light revision during the break to remain focused and motivated ahead of the resumption of classes.
Students are expected back in school on March 1, 2026, to continue with the term as scheduled.
