Uganda Schools Calendar For 2023

The covid-19 pandemic disorganized the school calendar for the last three years. For the first time since 2020, the ministry of education and sports is readopting the former Uganda schools calendar.

According to the Uganda schools calendar for 2022, the school terms were longer by nine days.

According to the new Uganda schools calendar, students will have two full months for holidays this year. This has come after the ministry of health cut short the third term by two weeks due to the Ebola outbreak demanding that all schools close on the 25th of November 2022.

The students are expected to return to school on 6th February 2023. These include; primary schools, secondary schools, farm schools, polytechnics, and technical schools.

Many parents have not received the two-month-long holidays in good spirits because this is the third time that the school term has been cut short without any refunds for the school fees.

In Uganda, schools play a big role in preventing teenage pregnancies as well as child marriages by keeping the children engaged at school instead walking around the villages and towns making new friends.

Along with the schools’ calendar for pre-primary, primary school, and other institutions in this category, the ministry of Education passed on the following notes;

• The start of term I for S.1, S.5, and year 1 for technical/farm schools and community polytechnics will be communicated in due course
• Teaching and learning should start promptly at the beginning of the school terms and these should not be cut short without clearance from the office in charge
• All headteachers of boarding schools, especially those in Kampala city, Mukono,o and Wakiso districts should ensure that they stagger the starting dates for different classes over the week preceding the official opening and closing dates of the terms. This is intended to mitigate the inconveniences of traffic congestion.
• All school open days and other annual functions should be set by individual schools and institutions during the second school term.
• Schools and institutions should sensitize parents and other stakeholders about the school calendar
