The development comes weeks after the Government resolved to reopen schools gradually with adherence to Covid-19 preventive measures.<\/p>\n

Schools were closed in March, when students in primary and secondary were remaining with less than a month to complete the first academic term.<\/p>\n

According to a statement by the ministry under the new calendar, all students will begin from the second term. <\/p>\n

The ministry also noted that students allowed to resume studies are those in upper primary, all levels of secondary, TTC and TVET.<\/p>\n

Students in primary 5 and 6, those in senior 3, 5 and 6, those in TVET and students in TTC will resume second term studies on November 2 and end on April 2, 2021.<\/p>\n

During the period, the students in the above classes will have four weeks for revision, assessment and remedial learning activities, before learning content of the second term.<\/p>\n

For primary four pupils and students in senior one, two and four, they will kick-off their second term on November 23 and end on April 2.<\/p>\n

All students will have a two-week holiday on April 3 through April 15.<\/p>\n

The third term will last for 12 weeks, starting on April 19 and end on July 9, next year. <\/p>\n

Mineduc explained that primary national examinations are scheduled to take place on July 12, 2021 and end on July 14.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, national examinations for secondary schools, TTC and TVET students are scheduled on July 20 and end on July 30, next year.<\/p>\n

The ministry noted that lower primary and pre-primary will resume studies later, adding that the details of their calendar will be communicated in due time.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the online learning will continue to support learning for those levels.<\/p>\n

So far, higher learning institutions in Rwanda have already resumed their studies.<\/p>\n
