CS Machogu's directive is an about-turn from Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang's, who last week announced that schools would reopen despite ongoing heavy rains, save for the few schools affected by flooding.
Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has explained the reasons behind issuing a late night directive postponing the reopening of schools by a week, a decision that has elicited mixed reactions across the country.
In an exclusive interview with Nation.Africa, CS Machogu said the Ministry of Education made the decision to save learners’ lives after receiving data from various counties that travel has been adversely affected by heavy rains. Basic facilities in various schools have also been affected by floods.
