Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha has issued a new directive on the second phase of school reopening.
Speaking while inspecting the distribution of government-funded desks at Dr Muthiora Primary School in Dagoretti, Nairobi, the CS disclosed that the government had shelved plans to re-admit the students.
He further explained that the decision was arrived at after concerns were raised over the spike in Covid-19 cases .
“Those classes that were not opened before, should remain closed until the government advises otherwise. I hope that the government has made itself very clear on this one. If you do not abide, there shall be consequences,” stated Magoha.
The CS warned players in the educational sector, including both private and public schools, that there would be consequences for those who go against the government directive on the reopening of schools.
Magoha’s directive affirms similar directives issued by the Kenya Association of International Schools (KAIS) which had already postponed mass reopening for their students.
