Schools to reopen for other classes in coming weeks

More learners may be recalled to resume in-person learning as early as next week, as the government rresphased theopening plan.

 According to media reports a critical decision has been made to open schools for a few more classes in primary and secondary institutions. Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha yesterday hinted at the move but said that due process of calling stakeholders to ratify the decision would be followed for collective responsibility purposes.

“It shall be a very well informed decision that may have consequences, but then everybody will be responsible for those consequences,” said Prof Magoha.

An Education sector stakeholders meeting will then be convened to refine and agree on which classes may reopen and when they shall start classes.

“We shall then decide when to call our own internal stakeholders so that we make a decision for children who are at home,” said Magoha.

Magoha spoke after assessing learning and delivery of desks for schools at Mukuru Primary School in Mukuru Kayaba, Nairobi.

Laying the ground for the reopening plans for the rest of classes, Magoha said most parents had endorsed reopening of schools.
