CS Magoha moves school re-opening to Monday, next week
The Ministry of Education has changed the nationwide school re-opening dates from Thursday, August, 11 to August Monday, 15 2022.
In a press statement on Wednesday,
Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha said that the changes have been
occasioned by an expected delay in the vote tallying process.
“On 1st August 2022, I ordered the early
closure of all Basic Education Institutions to allow for adequate preparation
and conduct of the General Elections. We indicated that reopening would be on
the 11th of August 2022,” Magoha’s statement read in part.
“We have however been informed that the
process of tallying of ballots may still be ongoing on the aforementioned date.
Therefore, following further consultations, I hereby convey the Government’s
decision that Basic Education Institutions will re-open from Monday, 15th
August, 2022,” it further read.
Magoha said that the latest communication
supersedes any earlier communication that the ministry had made on the
re-opening of basic education institutions.
“We apologize for any inconvenience occasioned by these changes and ask for your indulgence, as we work through ensuring the safety and comfort of learners through this period,” he added.
The sudden order to close schools left parents disappointed, prompting the Education CS to issue an apology on the inconvenience caused.
