Parents to pay more as learning set to resume
Sep 22, 2020
Parents will dig deeper into their pockets to buy face masks for their children when schools open early next month for second term.
This as parents stare at fees, transport, books and uniform headache, adding to their burden as the government sets the stage for the resumption of learning.
Universities have also been advised to recall all final year students who are unable to sit final examinations online.
“These are students pursuing science-based courses and who are about to graduate and may not do practicals,” said Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha.

Final year medical and dental students have already reported to universities for face-to-face learning ahead of their national examinations.
“For the rest of tertiary colleges, we are waiting for the larger stakeholders to concur with us. We want Teachers Training Colleges to open soon,” said Prof Magoha.
For primary and secondary schools, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) directed all teachers to report to school by Monday next week, with firm instruction to prepare for the opening.
“We have deliberated this as a committee and agreed that teachers report to schools by September 28 for the eventual opening of schools,” said Nancy Macharia, TSC chief executive officer.
