  "summary": "Kenyan schools are set to reopen for Term Three on August 24, 2026, as confirmed by the Ministry of Education, dispelling a false claim that the reopening had been postponed to September. The final teaching period of the academic year will run for nine weeks, concluding on October 23, 2026, before learners face a series of national examinations. The examinations will include the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA), Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA), Kenya Intermediate Level Education Assessment (KILEA), Kenya Pre-Vocational Level Education Assessment (KPLEA), and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). The close proximity between the end of Term Three and the start of the examinations underscores the importance of early preparation for learners.",
