These closures serve two primary purposes: first, to provide students with a much-needed break during the winter season, and second, to enable eighth and fourth-year candidates to sit for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations.
