Despite the ongoing heavy rains and flooding across the country, schools will reopen for the second term next week.
Basic Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang announced on Thursday that the government has established a multi-agency team to address the effects of the heavy rains.
Schools are scheduled to reopen for the second term starting from April 29.
” I know this year we have been blessed with quite some rain and I know yesterday the President directed a multi-agency team to be able to deal with the challenges that have come with the rains,” Kipsang said.
The PS spoke during the inaugural Annual Symposium on Competency-Based Assessment in Nairobi. Belio said the directive by President William Ruto is part of the preparations the State has in place to enable smooth reporting of learners to schools next week.”I can assure all of us that as already directed by the President we are all prepared and looking forward to our children going to school next week,” the PS said.
