Prepare for January reopening of schools, ministry tells officials
Thousands of learners failed to show up in class when schools partially reopened last month, raising fears of massive dropouts caused by the prolonged closure of learning institutions.
According to NCCK, the rise in Covid-19 numbers is worrying and the situation should be reviewed before learners are allowed back to school.
Grade Four and incoming Form One will stay at home in May and June as other learners complete their third term, according to the circular.
The Ministry of Education has maintained that schools will reopen for all learners on January 4, 2021, as earlier announced.
In a circular to regional and county directors of education, Basic Education PS, Dr Belio Kipsang, has directed ministry field officers to strictly adhere to the dates.
