Gucha Sub-County Director of Education (SCDE) David Ahelea Oyoko has told parents to monitor and supervise their children’s during the upcoming August holiday.
The director, who spoke to Education News at his Ogembo office yesterday, advised candidates of all levels especially those in form four to form groups’ studies during the holiday to keep on revising for their forth coming examinations instead of joining bad companies who end up encouraging them into committing evils like the indulgence in drug abuse.
“As a parent and an educator I know children are taught naturally as they grow and this demands for close guidance and counselling from both teachers and parents,” he said.
He cautioned them against joining the on-going countrywide unrests from the protesting GenZ groups saying it is risky during this volatile times in the country as to the might be mistaken for goons by security organs and lead to their arrest and consequently imprisonment.
He told them to choose well on how to conduct their lives for success by emphasizing that choices have consequences.
Ayako further lauded teachers for the cooperation they exhibited to see the second term end smoothly in spite after financial hiccups that forced some head teachers drain their school accounts to support games and sports activities from their schools.

He appealed to the Ministry of Education (MoE) to provide more funds in support of games and sports in schools because they are as important as any other classroom subject in the current Competency -Based Curriculum (CBC).
“Competency Based Curriculum is a holistic education system that needs a lot of financial and qualified personnel input in order to realize its main intense goals of timeless self-reliance skills,” he said.
