The government has finally closed all public and private schools from Monday as the ongoing teachers’ strike continues to take a toll on education across the country. However, KCPE and KCSE examinations candidates will remain in school, the Education ministry said on Friday.
In a circular sent to education officials, Education Secretary Leah Rotich said the ministry had reviewed the school term dates for both private and public schools. The circular said that Standard One to Standard Seven pupils and Form One to Form Three students would go home, as there was no learning going on since the commencement of the strike.
“The revision of the time dates for primary and secondary schools has been necessitated by the fact that very little or no learning has been going in most of these institutions in the last three weeks with the exception of the examination classes,” said Ms Rotich.
