What you need to know:

  • At the school gate, a water container is strategically placed for visitors to wash their hands.
  • Prof Magoha, in his announcement on schools’ reopening, said the Ministry of Education would provide face masks to needy students.
  • But Mr Otakamong says he is yet to receive any support of that kind from the government.

Behind the huge stones in Lurambi Constituency in Kakamega County, pupils of Elukho Primary School jovially play during their morning break.

These are the Grade Four and Class Eight learners who were recalled back to school after a seven-month break occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic.
