Some of the affected schools are Cheptulel Girls, Cheptulel Boys, Arpollo, Chesogon, Tirap, Akiriame, Amarel, Lochakula, Kamulogon, Kapushen, Kamelei, Sapulmoi and Charataka primary schools.
County Kenya National Teachers Union (Knut) Executive Secretary Martin Sembelo said the learning could be paralyzed learning in the region.
