Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation Chairman Simon Gicharu said some learners returning to schools after the long break suffered forms of mental stress and required help.

‘’There is need for the Government to ensure that among teaching staff posted in schools, there are dedicated ones who can help the learners with personal, emotional and psychological concerns at these very depressing times,’’ Gicharu said.
