Schools in Kenya will delay their reopening from April 29th to May 6th, 2024 for the second term, due to the ongoing floods.
Reason for Delay
Heavy rains have adversely affected many schools across the country.
Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu announced the decision based on reports from field officers.
“In the face of the ongoing heavy rains, the Ministry of Education last week directed its field officers to submit data from all Basic Education Learning Institutions countrywide to assist the Government in assessing the readiness of the schools for the Second Term opening on Monday, April 29, 2024,” the statement from Machogu read in part.
