Education CS George Magoha has pushed schools reopening date from Monday to Thursday, August 18.
“Following the conduct of our National Elections on Tuesday 9th August, 2022 the process of tallying of ballots is still ongoing. Therefore, following further consultations, I hereby convey the Government’s decision on the suspension of the re-opening of ALL Basic Education institutions with effect from Monday, 15th August, 2022 until Thursday 18th August, 2022,” said the CS.
“This communication supersedes any earlier communication on the re-opening of basic education institutions.”
On July 31, Magoha had said that schools would open on August 15, but later changed the date to August 11 after ordering an immediate closure of schools in a statement on August 1.
The sudden order to close schools left parents disappointed, prompting the Education CS to issue an apology on the inconvenience caused.
He later pushed the date to August 15 through a statement on August 10.
