This decision, communicated by Basic Education PS Belio Kipsang, comes as a response to the ongoing challenges posed by the adverse weather conditions. It’s important to know that, a lot of time has been lost over floods challenges and it’s the hope of Kenyans that schools will re – open safely.
Despite the setback, the Ministry assures stakeholders that it has devised comprehensive strategies to mitigate the impact of the delayed reopening on the academic calendar. The safety and well-being of students remain a top priority, prompting the Ministry to exercise caution in resuming normal schooling activities.
PS Belio Kipsang emphasized the Ministry’s commitment to ensuring that students receive quality education without compromising their safety. He underscored the importance of implementing measures to make up for lost time and minimize disruptions to the learning process.
One of the key strategies outlined by the Ministry involves optimizing existing resources to facilitate accelerated learning once schools reopen. This includes leveraging technology and innovative teaching methods to enhance the efficiency of educational delivery.
Additionally, the Ministry plans to collaborate closely with school administrators, teachers, and parents to support students in catching up on missed lessons and coursework. Special attention will be given to students in flood-affected areas to address any unique challenges they may face in resuming their studies.
Furthermore, the Ministry will explore flexible scheduling options and supplementary learning opportunities to ensure that students have ample time to cover the curriculum and meet academic requirements. This may include extending school hours, organizing weekend classes, or utilizing holiday periods for educational purposes.
