Teachers back to school as re-opening uncertain
Sep 28, 2020
Teachers made a nostalgic return to schools in preparation for the gradual re-opening of the institutions , but no date was set in the president’s address.
Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha and the national education stakeholders have been sent back to the drawing board after it emerged that President Uhuru Kenyatta was not convinced by the reopening details.
Hanging on the safety of the school-going children, the president said more thought must go into how the learning institutions will be reopened.
“Let us not focus on when they will reopen, but how schools should reopen to protect the lives of our children,” said Uhuru.

The president cautioned parents and other stakeholders against rushed opening of schools, saying the mechanisms of how their children will safely go back to schools must be agreed upon.
“Let us not fight over the lives of children. Let us think over the health and safety of the children first before we reopen,” Uhuru said.
This means that Magoha may call another stakeholders conference to fine-tune reopening measures before a roadmap is issued.
