The national government on Friday, April 26 announced that the extension of school opening dates will be done on a case-by-case basis.
Speaking during a press briefing on the ongoing floods in Karen, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua noted that the Ministry of Education would coordinate with various county governments to analyse the situation on the ground before parents and students are advised on the changes.
He also maintained that students whose schools have not been affected by the rains ought to report to schools as scheduled by the government.
“On a case by case, it will be analysed on its own merit. Where there is a need to extend the opening day, we can do that. Otherwise, for the purpose of the country, the school will open as planned,” he stated.
