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.
The dates and venues for the National Championship are as follows:
| Primary School Athletics | Kigari TTC | 2nd-4th July 2022 |
| Secondary School Athletics | Kigari TTC | 3rd-7th July 2022 |
| Secondary and Primary Schools SNE | Machakos TTC | 2nd-4th July 2022 |

The following conditions should be observed among others during the championships:

- The number of participants will be 20 boys and 20 girls
- The number of competition days and number of officials should be at the lowest level possible to cut on the costs.
During the National Championships, the Regional will take care of all the team officials(Team managers, chaperons, Coaches, and Drivers among others) while the Ministry Of Education headquarters will finance the Championship administration cost.
