# KBI Schools: Rolling Content Calendar (5 October 2026 to 31 December 2027), Version 2

> **How to use.** This is a secondary guide. Priority order: (1) public holiday or national event, (2) Oyo State school calendar event, (3) live trend that fits, (4) weekly theme below, (5) daily pillar. Always re-verify dates live. Islamic holiday dates are tentative until announced. Awareness day dates are the usual dates and must be confirmed in research.
>
> **Target stage** shows who the week mainly speaks to: EY (early years), PR (primary), SE (secondary), ALL.
>
> **Growth move** gives the weekly KEYWORD (people comment it to receive a small free tool by WhatsApp) and the asset behind it. The engine drafts the asset only when asked. The owner confirms the asset will actually be sent before the keyword is promoted. Any date marked "confirm" must be checked against the KBI Fact Sheet.
>
> **Changes in Version 2.** Independence Day 2026 date corrected (it fell on Thursday 1 Oct). Growth moves, campaign arcs, Workers' Day and Mothering Sunday notes, and a seed bank were added.
