The Term three school closing date has taken a major U-turn after school principals vowed to send learners home ahead of the scheduled closing date.
Addressing via press statement dated today the 19th day of October 2023, principals inhabiting the vast county of Nairobi have vowed to close their respective institutions of learning on Friday, the 20th day of October 2023 due to financial constraints currently being witnessed in the schools.
The Ministry of Education had articulated that all pre-primary, primary and secondary schools in the country would proceed to the December school holiday on the 27th day of October 2023.
The school principals articulated that the financial crisis that has resulted from the government’s failure to release capitation has left the majority of educational facilities without cereal and other food supplies to support the students.
“We are really struggling…there is no money and that is why we have been forced to close early,” principals divulged.
