THE 2021 Form Five classes will begin on Monday next week, with learners required to pay fees proportional to the remainder of the First Term school days.

The current school term is expected to end on June 4.

A circular from the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education Permanent Secretary, Mrs Tumisang Thabela, addressed to school authorities reads: “The 2021 Form Five classes will commence on Monday, the 10th of May 2021, for all schools across the country.

“Fees will be paid on a pro-rata basis using the following formula: Number of days remaining multiplied by approved fees for Term One divided by total number of days in Term One.

“All addresses are to ensure that Form Five classes commence on the given date and that the World Health Organisation guidelines on the management of Covid-19 are adhered to.”
