Education Cabinet Secretary (CS) Professor George Magoha has issued new directives to teachers as schools kicked off phased reopening on Monday, October 12.
Speaking after visiting Olympic Primary School in Kibera to assess the learning situation after grade four, class eight and form four students reported back to school, CS Magoha asked teachers in schools across the country to draft a list of students with pre-existing conditions so as to provide them with extra care.
“I urge Principals and teachers to compile a list of learners with pre-existing conditions, for example, children with asthma, so that necessary attention can be given to them,” said Magoha.
Magoha asked schools to also liaise with health facilities aligned to them to offer care to the students with pre-existing conditions.
The CS urged schools to ensure the mandatory use of face masks and thermoguns.
With the rising cases of teenage pregnancies reported across the country during the pandemic, Magoha encouraged those affected to report back to school.
“For those children who are pregnant, I assure them that they have nothing to fear and should come back to school. Teachers should be empathic to them and give them assistance,” he stated.
Parents have expressed their concerns over schools fees after being affected by the negative economic impact of Covid-19, but Magoha reiterated that no child should be sent home because of failing to pay school fees.
He added that students should not be excluded in the resumption plans after failing to enroll for online classes when schools closed due to the pandemic.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds

Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
