Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha says all institutions of basic and higher learning in Kenya will reopen in January 2021, and not any time earlier.
Magoha, who toured Pwani University on Wednesday to evaluate the institution’s COVID-19 preparedness, said the media has been misquoting him on the schools’ reopening date issue, hence “making me look like a fool before the eyes of Kenyans”.
“I will not, and shall not say anything in regard to the reopening of schools in Kenya. The Fourth Estate (the media) has continued to religiously write what I have not said [about that topic],” said Magoha while addressing journalists at Pwani University.
Magoha, however, stated that the Government’s position on learning resumption date has not changed, and that it remains to be January 2021.
“That position has not changed,” said Magoha. “However, we may relook the [schools’ reopening date] issue depending on how the virus behaves.”
Am just bored with all this school stuff ,,there is a time The ed Cs was sure that universities and tvet will open on September even though at that time the cases were more than now ,,,,,I just hate it when he talks azin I don’t understand him at all ,,,,actually don’t know who your trying to protect ,,,at home for me specifically I go to all places and gatherings of all kind ,,,,its like you are negliting our rights ,,,how dont u try out with the universities and tvet ,,,primary and secondary can wait ,,,
I feel you Maureen,school at all cost should resume I conquer with you.But let’s pray God to intervene you know He understands and knows everything
What’s wrong with education sector coz each week they are giving out new feedback abt reopening last week but one u talked abt school to reopen before January now u have said again remind January .Again abt social distance I hope u a watching what’s happening with a politician they are overcrowding members of public and then u are saying no school this year what’s wrong please reason out again about reopening of education institution
He should just say when and stick with it because some people are getting stressed out of nowhere.
If schools will be opening in January how many girls will be able to return there if about 75% are pregnant and others have already married
What is really happening with our cabinet of education i really need to go back to school i dont want school to die
I am not a Kenyan, but I am also concerned about the opening of schools in kenya. I already secured an admission to study in one of your institutions. Waiting for schools to resume, can be frustrating ?.
Sir failiure to plan is planning to fail take mersures don’t ignore covid is real don’t ignore open in January after full drop weather campus secondary or primary don’t risk as for me I don’t want to risk my life for anything even if you open know I won’t go back covid is real have seen it no risking
Magoha should make up his mind already,its been months since schools closed clearly the infections have decreased,we should be allowed back to school and continue we can’t stay at home foever
