It’s too early to talk about re-opening schools for new term or final exams

The question that is on top of every parent’s mind is when schools will open for the second term. The first term ended prematurely in March after Kenya recorded the first case of coronavirus. Since then schools have deployed a myriad of distance learning measures to make up for the lost time.

The country is still in the grip of the pandemic and it is evident the second term will not start on May 4, as earlier scheduled. To be sure, many parents are worried, and rightly so, that the pandemic has disrupted the school calendar and will impact candidates sitting final primary and secondary school examinations negatively.
