CS MAGOHA CHANGES SCHOOL OPENING DATES AGAIN.
Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha has directed all schools to close by Saturday, August 6, to pave way for the upcoming General Elections.
The Education CS Prof George Magoha, speaking at the Alliance Girls on Sunday 31st July after inspecting the ongoing construction of CBC classrooms at the institution, stated that the schools will re-open as soon as the election results are announced.
“We are breaking again on the 6th of the month and we will not open again until the 15th,” CS Magoha said. At the same time, CS Magoha stated that if there are repeat elections during his tenure, consultations will be held to determine whether students will sit for their exams.
“We may have to sit down as stakeholders and see whether it will be fair to examine the children if they will have lost a considerable amount of time, I pray that that does not happen, these children have suffered enough,” Magoha said.
Meanwhile, he asked principals to allow the students who are home school fees to allow them back before the break and follow up on the payments during the short recess.

“I would like to urge principals who still have students at home to immediately bring them back because we are breaking again on August 6 and we shall not open until 15th,” said Magoha.
“If you want to engage the parents then do so when the children are still at home so that if there is school fee to be paid, it should be paid then,” Magoha stated.
However, the CS noted that the dates were tentative and were subject to change in the event of a repeat election. He also admitted that the national exams calendar could be affected.
“We may have to sit down as stakeholders and see whether it will be fair to examine the children if they will have lost a considerable amount of time, I pray that that does not happen, these children have suffered enough,” Magoha explained.
The Education CS also banned all events held on school grounds by politicians claiming to be launching projects in order to woo voters.
“We do not want politics in schools because the students have a very short term and it is only fair that they are left alone,” Magoha added.
“There should be no political activities, in fact, If I see any political van here, I will tell the police to tow them, children, first.”
