Where these dates come from
Ministry of Education, State Department for Basic Education, circular REF: MOE.HQS/3/13/3/VOL III, dated 19 October 2026, signed by John L. Ololtuaa, CBS, Principal Secretary. Title: “2027 Academic Calendar for Pre-Primary, Primary, Junior, Senior, Secondary Schools and Teachers Training Colleges.” The Ministry’s public circulars page is education.go.ke/circulars-guidelines.
We checked that public page on 12 November 2026 (Africa/Nairobi) and the circular PDF was not listed there yet. The dates on this page follow the official circular text as reproduced by education news desks that published the full letter and tables. If your school or a later Ministry circular gives different dates, use those. This planner is not a Ministry website and is not a substitute for the circular your school received.
Price
This 2027 term dates planner is free: KSh 0 (USD 0). You can use the countdown, calendar, print view and calendar file without paying or creating an account.
If you want set holiday work for the April, August or December break, the CBC Guides holiday homework pack is KSh 120 (about USD 0.93) per grade, paid once by M-Pesa or card. Nothing renews by itself.
