Speaking to The Chronicle, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education Dr Sylvia Utete-Masango dismissed social media reports that stated the closing day had been shifted to August 3 from August 10.
Said Utete-Masango:
There is nothing of that nature and as it stands we are closing schools on August 10, the date which appears on our calendars. We therefore advise members of the public to stick to the dates that were set at the beginning of the year. If there are changes, we will notify them using proper and official channels.
