According to Mwanaisha Chidzuga, a spokesman for the deputy government, at least 2,000 schools would not reopen on Monday, May 13.

Speaking on Radio Citizen, Chidzuga stated that this is in response to an evaluation of school readiness conducted by pertinent authorities in the wake of the significant downpours.

She continued by saying that in spite of this, the government has taken action to guarantee that students from the impacted schools receive an education.
Chidzuga went on to say that the administration has moved the impacted students to nearby schools as one of its measures.

“Before we opened the schools, there were strategies we had put in place, for example, there is a department that looks after the quality of buildings called Public Works. We sent them to some schools to check if they were safe for students to go back. Some gave their reports and as we speak 2,000 schools cannot be opened today,” she said.

“But it does not mean that those children will not have a chance to study. We have transferred some students to schools that are nearby. And there are somewhere we have set up tents and desks to have temporary classes.”

Even though the floods have devastated over thirty counties, the deputy government spokesperson emphasized that the state cannot continue to postpone the start of the second term.

Chidzuga pointed out that learning may continue and that the majority of the nation is not badly impacted.

According to her, the government is taking all reasonable steps to guarantee Kenyans’ safety and the resumption of classes.

She also urged all Kenyans to have patience and support one another.

President William Ruto declared last week that Monday will mark the return of classes.This came after the floods forced an indefinite postponement of the reopening.

Education CS Ezekiel Machogu announced on Thursday that several schools in the counties of Tana River, Homa Bay, and Kisumu would not reopen on schedule.

The CS claims that before instruction can resume, these places would need to undergo several renovations as they are still plagued by flood-related issues.
