The Ministry of Education closed all learning institutions on the 15th of March, 2020, as one of the core measures to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic
This closure led to the disruption of all education programs in the Country including Co-Curricular Activities (CCA). All Sporting activities were suspended.
The MOE in consultation with Key stakeholders has decided that Co-Curricular activities resume gradually. However, due to the short academic calendar, it has been resolved that in term one of 2022, the primary and secondary schools compete in athletics at all levels, to prepare the qualifying athletes to participate in the world under 20 trials.
