As physical learning gets into the second week, the Ministry of Education in unison with the local administration is working hand in hand in ensuring that all learners return to their various schools.
During their visit to Trans Nzoia, Principal Secretaries Simon Nabukwesi of University Education and Research, Alfred Cheruiyot of Post Training and Skills and Development and Nelson Marwa of Labour and Social Protection have asked the County have asked to liaise with the local administrators to trace learners who have not reported.
The team of PS’s blamed the parents for laxity and asked the County Director of Education to work closely with the office of the County Commissioner to trace the learners.
The PS’s visited St. Monica Girls High School Kitale, Liyavo Primary School Kwanza, Meteitei High School, Uasin Gishu High School, St. Mary’s Eldoret, Friends Boys School, St. Andrews Girls Baraton, among other schools in the County.
Speaking during the visit, PS Nabukwesi advised the Kenya Certificate for Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates to work hard in the few remaining days.
The majority of the schools visited lacked adequate classrooms, dormitories, desks, enough teachers, water and some sanitation facilities.
It was, however, noted that most institutions were not able to achieve social distancing due to the high populations. Some schools had also not benefited from the economic stimulus package desks provided by the Government.
