CS Machogu Confirms At least 2,155 schools Will not reopen for the second term on Monday despite President William Ruto’s order that learning resumes on May 13.

Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu on Thursday detailed that up to five per cent of schools will not resume learning because the infrastructure has been adversely damaged by The Heavy floods

The affected schools are spread across seven counties, which include Tana River, Homa Bay and Kisumu

As a measure, The affected schools, Machogu highlighted, alternative interventions were being explored to ensure learners transition smoothly to the second term.

He stated,” We are trying to look at other mechanisms on how learning can take place in the few schools, which are less than five per cent and could be even less than two per cent of schools,”

To cover for lost time, Machogu stated that the second term will be extended to ensure student-teacher contact hours do not get affected.

He stated, “Particularly for Form 4 candidates, we will see how we can recover the time lost by extending [the second term] by a few days. They were expected to close for three weeks in August and we might minimise the number of days the schools will be closed,”

CS Machogu further said they are still receiving the names of the affected schools and will give a comprehensive list when they have it.
