Nairobi, May 5 -- The government will extend second term and third term due to the indefinite postponement of the reopening of schools following the ongoing floods that have caused massive destruction and left more than 200 people dead.

The Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examination, which is scheduled to start in November by Form Four candidates will, however, not be affected by the reorganisation of the school calendar.

Initially, basic education institutions, including nursery, primary and secondary schools, were supposed to reopen on April 29 for the second term according to this year's education calendar. However, this was pushed to May 6, today, due to the flooding.
